The race costs $60-75. Find out how to register at zoo-de-mack.com.

The best restaurants of Petoskey and Bay Harbor have joined forces for this special culinary event. $25 for dinner and $15 for lunch with some establishments offering two for one pricing.

May 26: May Swirl. Swirl is a delicious blend of culture, libations, and fun! Mingle in the CTAC galleries in Petoskey while enjoying live music, and sampling wine, beer and food from great area purveyors. Tickets usually sell out the day of Swirl, so get yours in advance.
