Publisher Description In Mackinac Island: Holidays, Tourists, and Trivia, lifelong island resident Tom Chambers shares heartfelt memories and quirky insights from over 70 summers and 50 winters on Michigan's most iconic island. The book highlights how holidays-from Halloween to Christmas-are uniquely celebrated by locals, often without tourists. Chambers recounts humorous encounters with visitors, the seasonal influx of fudge lovers, and offers practical tips for enjoying the island. Rich with local trivia, the book reveals little-known stories about island carpenters, forgotten roads, nicknames, weather events, and even marshes and fruit trees. A bonus section revisits events and anecdotes left out of his first book, including the blizzard of 1978 and the wreck of the Peshtigo. Chambers' warm, conversational style and deep affection for the island make this a delightful read for anyone who loves Mackinac Island or small-town Americana.
