2022 Grand Marshall - Mike Orlowski

In recognition of his longstanding commitment to the Carlton community, the Carlton Area Chamber of Commerce board was unanimous in selecting Mike Orlowski to serve as the Carlton Daze Parade Grand Marshal for 2022.
 
We are excited to honor Mike to show our appreciation for his many years of volunteerism within our community.  So much of what he has done and given to, goes unseen by most, but we recognize and value the time and dedication he has blessed so many with.
 
Mike has served over 20 years as a member of the Carlton Area Lions Club, a club whose mission is to empower volunteers to improve health and well-being, strengthen communities and support those in need.  Mike embodies so much of this in so many ways. 
 
His willingness to be the main grill master for National Night Out is just another example of his loyalty to our community.  His time and skill are helping to feed hundreds! 
 
He also spreads joy when driving Carlton’s first ever fire truck around town, a beautiful antique that catches the eyes of everyone it encounters.  His bright spirit and love for Carlton is noticed most during moments like this.  
 
Mike’s longtime career as a Carlton County County mechanic, which he has since retired from, has helped him become a trusted partner for the Carlton Fire Department. For years he has been devoted to providing them with his knowledge, expertise, and timely assistance whenever they are in need of maintenance of their rescue vehicles and apparatuses. He is always there where he is called upon and his steadfast commitment to the department is appreciated more than he knows. 
 
Mike’s genuine interest and unassuming personality in participating in the community has led to a better place for all of us.
 
Please help us in honoring him and all that he does for our community by cheering loud and proud for him as he leads the parade as this year’s Grand Marshal!

Congratulations, Mike! Thank you for all that you do!

THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!
