The Michigan Councils of the Knights of Columbus have been conducting the Tootsie Roll drive for the last 38 years. In 2010, the Michigan Knights of Columbus councils collected over $1,200,000. The money collected went to many different organizations across Michigan.

All donations go directly to charity. No part of the donation goes back to the Knights of Columbus. So make sure to take a drive through Flat Rock and get yourself a tootsie roll.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
