DATES: May 9-11, 2025 (Fri-Sun)
FERRY: Meet at the Ferry in Mackinaw City at 11am on Friday, We are NOT riding up together in a motorcoach this year, FYI. Every driver for herself! (Although, I encourage carpooling!) Instead, we will meet at the ferry dock and EXPLODE WITH PINK dockside.
HOTEL: We are staying at The Chippewa Hotel located in downtown Mackinac Island and home to THE PINK PONY. Rate includes two nights lodging.
ACTIVITIES: We will plan several group outings for the weekend (optional but wildly recommended) such as a fudge walking tour, perhaps a slice o’pizza together, plus a group hike and a group bike around the island! Plus, we can gather in the giant outdoor hot tub at the hotel at night to lament how much we miss work and dishes.
RATE: Rates include two nights lodging at the Chippewa Hotel, MiGirl swag, porter fees and ferry ticket, along with a MiGirl group hike and bike/outings. Additional events (such as a carriage tour) may be added closer to the trip and will be at an additional cost.
