A Flannel Affair

March 25, 2023

Bust out the flannel one more time before spring is here to stay for the Wexford County Historical Society’s Lumberjack Social. No foolin’...though this event takes place on April 1, it’s a serious tradition. An evening of live music, line dancing, silent and live auctions, raffles, and appetizers (plus a cash bar) awaits, but instead of black tie, you can stay comfy in your buffalo plaid. (Just leave the axe at home, please.) The woodsy party benefits the historical society, a nonprofit committed to the preservation and presentation of the history and culture of Wexford County, and its 5,000-square-foot museum housed in the former Cadillac Public Library. Tickets are $45 per person and can be purchased at Horizon Books, Brinks Custom Framing, and the Cadillac Elks Club—the latter of which is where the party will be held at 6pm.
