During the 2021 Trout Fest, we were often asked about a pin for 2020, the Festival we weren't able to hold due to Covid-19 regulations. The Board of Directors decided to ask the People of the Trout (our Facebook fans) to submit a slogan for that year and we would add it to a pin. Director Deb Ball-Odeh created the trout with a mask design and the Directors chose the slogan, "The One That Got Away". It was submitted by Kalkaska resident Sara Blasko. The pins are available at the Trout House merchandise shop.
