Great Turtle Shopping Week celebrates the diverse shops on Mackinac Island each October. It was created to encourage Islanders and visitors to take advantage of this wonderful time of year and so everyone could have a nice getaway while preparing for the holidays.
Every fall, as Mackinac Island’s shops get ready to close down for the winter, there are great sales and specials downtown from Main Street to Market Street, at the shops at Grand Hotel and Mission Point Resort.
Sign up on the contact page www.greatturtleshopping.org and get the VIP shopping pass for all the best deals during shopping week.
Hotels, historic inns and B&Bs will have excellent packages to get in the spirit of shopping week too.
Raffle tickets for wonderful prizes will abound as well.

On Tuesday, September 18th, The Inn at Stonecliffe will be hosting the Mackitraz 5 in the heated tent for the last party of the year.
We have partnered with Chris West and the Waugoshance Lighthouse Preservation Society to raise funds for this cause. An appetizer buffet and full bar will be served in the tent. We will bring the wicker furniture from the portico and additional seating into the heated tent. Dinner will be served in the dining room. No RSVP’s are required. Come and join us Rain or Shine!
The Waugoshance Lighthouse Preservation Society will accepting donations and raffling off the following items:
— An invitation for 2 aboard the Ugly Anne to the Waugoshance Lighthouse with the Lighthouse Board in the summer of 2013. This 6-hour trip is a truly unique opportunity to see this historic structure with the people who know it best!
— A painting of the Waugoshance Lighthouse that will be painted live in the tent Tuesday evening by local artist Noel Skiba!
The Waugoshance Lighthouse Preservation Society has the opportunity to obtain a 2 for 1 match from the Michigan Lighthouse Assistance Program in order to fund the completion of a Historic Structure Report. We need to submit this report to several federal entities before any renovation work can begin on the lighthouse. If we raise $10,000, the State program will double our amount and give us $20,000! The total $30,000, funded by our Indiegogo supporters (you!) and the State, will allow us to pay for the report and then begin renovation on this historic Lake Michigan lighthouse. Please join us in helping to restore Waugoshance! To donate and for more details go to http://www.indiegogo.com/wlighthouse
