During the Month of August, Charlevoix residents can gather up old garden gnomes or create new ones. Between August 28 and September 1st, Gnomes can be placed (gently hidden) along the trails of Mt. McSauba. Those gnomes will become part of a network of garden gnomes on the trails.
During Gnomevember, residents, visitors, families, young and old, can hike the trails and see how many gnomes that they can find. Find a Gnome and get your picture with it.
