The Snow Is Deep, and the Chili Is Hot at Mackinaw City’s Signature Winter Event

The annual outhouse race is one highlight of Mackinaw City Winterfest. Here, Michael Cherry (from left), Michael Armstrong, Chris Westcott, Michael Kooistra, and Sam Quinney participated in their second race as members of Team Corn returned. The team is made up of family members from across the country, and brought two entries to the races this year. See Winterfest story and photographs, pages 11 and 12.
