The party at the Grand!!
One of the events that many racer involved non-racers look forward to is the “Veranda” party at the Grand Hotel.
Known for years as the “Ladie’s Party”, this event is sponsored by the Chicago Yacht Club and takes place at the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island on Sunday evening. On record breaking years the fastest boats have been known to get in just in time to change and scamper to the Grand.
The party has food, beverages and live music. Alot of visiting with friends you may not have seen since last year at this time.
There are also locals who attend the event. I spoke with Sandra Orr, owner of The French Outpost and the Pub Oyster Bar on Main St with her sister Debra. Sandra has enjoyed the annual for many years. “It gives me a nice relaxing break, the calm before the storm” Sandra & Debra plan to open a new Main Street Restaurant for the 2005 season. Best of Luck!!!
