Saturday, August 23rd SPECIAL UPDATE: Not that it's going to rain, but your hosts already have a backup plan in place. Space is reserved inside - and there's live music, to boot! Plan to hang around awhile. 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. But you know what? We just couldn’t improve on last year! Boatwerks – and the saunter there – were so real received by everyone we decided to repeat the whole venue one more time. So get ready to relax and have fun on this year’s Saunter to the Shore! We are once more headed someplace truly special – 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 You must RSVP for this event – we will have a private parking area set aside just for our group along with an area in Boatwerks where we can be “clustered” together. So mark your calendar, give us a call or email and get on the list. When: Saturday, August 23rd 4:00 PM Meet at the Overisel Lumber Company parking lot in Douglas, just off of the 196 exit 36 ramp to get registered for the drive.
We will depart at 4:30PM SHARP! You really don’t want to miss the drive – like last year you will be given a map which gives reference to historical and hysterical landmarks along the way. And yes – I did make a new map! There are so many things to see on the way I just couldn’t squeeze them all on one page last year! We will be following the coast, avoiding the highways and exploring the possibilities on our way to a fabulous dinner @ Boatwerks! 5:00 PM: Cocktails in the lounge at Boatwerks Waterfront Restaurant 216 Van Raalte Ave Holland, MI 5:30 PM: Group seated for dinner. Order off the menu. Separate checks. No calculator or sharp pencils required. |
