Bay Harbor Vintage Car & Boat Festival - non-hosted

Plan to arrive Thursday afternoon for a reception on the hotel deck. Your dinner plans will be your own at one of the local restaurants.

On Friday morning we will assemble at the Great Lakes Center for the Arts (800 Bay Harbor Drive, Bay Harbor) at 8:30 AM. The car tour will depart at 9:00 AM. There will be three unique stops. The first stop will be at a large Private Car Collection in Bay Harbor featuring several winning entries from the Pebble Beach Car Show. The next stop is the private garage of Mike Stowe AKA Great Lakes Motor Works in Boyne City. The last stop will be The Stone House in Torch Lake for a tour and lunch (taco bar).  The cost is $37.50 + $0.94 service fee, per person.

Friday evening there will be an Exhitor's Dinner Party. The cost is $77.50 + $1.94 service fee, per person.

Saturday morning will be the car and boat festival at the Bay Harbour Village. 4000 Main Street, Bay Harbor. The event runs from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. The lineup for the Parade of Cars begins at 9:30 AM. They are planning a "red carpet" introduction of the cars. So expect a bit more elegance as the cars are introduced and the driver's interview on the carpet.  The cost is $37.50 + $0.94 service fee, per car.

And we have been promised better parking on the grass as well.

JAGM will be planning a dinner for Saturday evening.

We will be leaving Sunday morning for home.

JAGM has a block of 20 rooms at The Apple Tree Inn, in Petoskey. The discounted rate is $129 for Thursday and $244 for Friday and Saturday. You must call the hotel (231-348-2900) and book your room before May 8th, as the discounted block will expire after that date. This is a popular area and rooms will disappear quickly.

You can register for the events (three) here.
