UNION CITY, Mich. â Crews responded to a horse that had gotten stuck in a Union City swamp on Saturday, according to the Village of Union City.
Weâre told the horse, which was attached to an Amish buggy, became frightened by fireworks and detached itself from a tree. It then ran deep into a swamp in Dead Manâs Hollow until the mud was up to its neck, according to a Facebook post by Union city.
It reportedly took a half hour for fire crews to safely remove the horse from the swamp.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) â It was initially thought the Village of Union City would be out of the Michigan South Central Power Agency by now but that is not the case.
The original deadline was last Wednesday and while a tentative withdrawal agreement is still being worked out, snags have developed with various contracts.
One agency Union City is dealing with is the Midcontinent Independent System Operator which delivers electric power across the country. The village was not ready to submit a model update to MISO by June 15. They now have to wait until September 15 for an effective date of December 1.

COLDWATER, MI (WTVB) â After the COVID-19 pandemic forced a cancellation of many ceremonies in 2020, Branch County residents paused on Memorial Day to remember those who laid down their lives so that Americans can enjoy living in a free land.
A Memorial Day ceremony was held at the Four Corners Park in downtown Coldwater which was followed by a Veterans âHonor Rideâ in golf carts to the Coldwater American Legion Post 52.
The âGathering of Flags War Memorial Serviceâ was later held at the Oak Grove Cemetery. Judge David Coyle was the main speaker and he talked about the sacrifice American service members gave over the years for their country with many of them between the ages of 18 and 21.
