Chamber Member News 

Celebrating 40 years!  Congratulations to Katie Darrow & Darby Darrow and family on your many years of serving Mackinaw and the Straits Area.  

Our 2008 Mackinaw CIty Chamber Visitor's Guides have been delivevguide_smallred to MDOT Distribution Center in Lansing.  We thank Brian from Sault Printing for bringing them to our pole barn, the loading crew, Tom Peters, Matt Cooley, Gene Cooley & Bud Stone and the generous use of Bud Stone's truck with Gene Cooley as the navigator making a day trip to Lansing.  This was a very generous use of a vehicle, time and the above mens dedication to the Chamber of Commerce.  We appreciate all of you.

We are looking for additional options of getting our guides to Lansing next year.  Contact the office if any of you want to partner with renting a U-Haul trailer which would take less wear and tear on a personal vehicle.

The Chamber of Commerce is producing the black and white community map with restaurant and attraction locators.  You will be receiving a letter with the details this week.

JR's tailgate Pub & Two Amigo's Mexican Kitchen feature:
$5 Taco special - Mondays; Free Pool- Tuesdays; Karaoke - Fridays; ½ off pizza- Wednesdays and $5 Burger and Beer- Thursdays.
