Hartland approves permit for Hartland Polo Classic June 6'7

The Hartland Township Board unanimously approved Special Event Permit #26-017 on May 19 for the annual Hartland Polo Classic, scheduled June 6'7 at Heritage Park.

Emmalynn Wheaton, director of the Hartland Chamber of Commerce, said the two-day event will follow the same format used in prior years with a VIP catered event and evening entertainment on Saturday, June 6, and a free Family Day on Sunday, June 7. "If the fields are too slick or wet it will be dangerous for the horses and they will not hold the event," Wheaton said; she added the Chamber will post a deposit to cover potential turf repairs and will coordinate with HAYAA Soccer about restoring fields after the event.

Manager Mike Luce said staff, the Chamber director and the Public Works Director will walk the field before the game to confirm conditions. The motion to approve the permit was made by Trustee O'Connell and seconded by Treasurer Horning and passed 7'0yea, 0'0nay.
