The Recreation Passport giveaway begins at noon Saturday, May 17, near park shelter No. 9 [[located next to the Dossin Great Lakes Museum on Belle Isle). Representatives of Grand Prix and DNR will distribute the Passports [[normally priced at $11 for Michigan residents) to the owners of the first 1,000 Michigan-registered vehicles that don’t currently have the Recreation Passport. Free Passports will be distributed through 3 p.m. or until 1,000 Passports have been given away.
