Saunter to the Shore!

Don’t you just love this time of year? Time to relax, time to hang out with friends on the deck – cocktail in hand, time to get out the Porsche and just meander through the countryside. It’s what summer is all about – kicking back and just taking life in. And that is the point of our August Dinner Drive – time to just Saunter to the Shore with fellow enthusiasts!

August is a time for driving and exploring beyond your own backyard. So with exploring in mind, we once again started searching for something new and exciting to add to the Event Calendar. And we again we made a delightful discovery – it is possible to step back in time and be reminded of simpler times, of vacations on the lake, carefree summers and that first time learning to water-ski. When you set out with us on our Saunter to the Shore you will be able to relax and have fun – it will be like taking a mini-vacation. One you will repeat again and again on your own!

Because we are headed someplace truly special this year – Boatwerks on the waterfront in Holland!

The  theme at Boatwerks is classic vintage motorboats of the 40's, 50's and 60's. Names like Chris Craft, Century, Garwood, Hacker Craft. Boats made during the golden age of American craftsmanship. Clean, graceful styling, beautiful varnished mahogany, shiny chrome hardware, and the roar of a fast engine. Boats like these are still in use on Lake Macatawa, and some are still being made the time honored way right here in the area.

 The approach at the restaurant is similar to these vintage and modern classics: buy the best ingredients, use time tested methods and expert craftsmanship, avoid shortcuts, trends and fads. Simple, honest cooking and friendly, efficient service in a clean, comfortable environment is their goal. We can't wait to share it with you!

Hosts: Candis and Barry Collick 269-345-2488 or cblick@iserv.net
