Our local summer tradition, the Venetian Festival, draws in nearly three times the population of our small town to celebrate the beauty of Charlevoix! Employees at the dealership have been participating in the parade for the past 10 years, and it's been incredible to see it grow over the years. Each year, the festival features a different theme, and this year's was “Margaritaville.” We entered a decorated Bronco Raptor and were thrilled to win Best Commercial Entry out of 69 total entries!
