It is with great sadness that we share the passing of former Village President Kenneth "Lee" Smith, who faithfully served our community as Village Trustee from 1969–1973 and as Village President from 1977–1989.

Lee cared deeply about this village and the people in it. For many years, he gave time, energy, and heart to helping our community grow and move forward. His leadership and dedication left a lasting mark that will not be forgotten.

We extend our thoughts and prayers to his family and loved ones during this difficult time. We are thankful for his years of service and the many ways he helped shape our community.

Lee, will be deeply missed by many.

Celebrate the life of Kenneth Smith and join others in sharing memories, stories, and condolences.

🌳 Arbor Day Coloring Contest Update 🌳

Due to a lack of participants, we will be cancelling the Arbor Day Coloring Contest event at the Community Center.

The good news—all participants who submitted an entry will still receive a prize! 🎉
Prizes can be picked up at the Village Office starting Friday, April 24, 2026. Parents are more than welcome to stop in to pick up prizes on behalf of their children.

📸 Photos of participants with their prizes will be shared on the Village of Mackinaw page. If a participant is unable to come to the Village Office for a photo, we will still share their entry using first name only along with their prize.

We apologize that we are unable to hold the event in person this year, but we truly appreciate everyone who participated!

🌱 Stop by the Village Office to pick up a 2026 Arbor Day goodie bag—available while supplies last!

Thank you for your continued support!
