It's been 3 years of shenanigans and biffs and - new friends becoming real friends. Lucky us!!! We will celebrate with a birthday hike on Wednesday, April 24 at Lost Lake Pathway in Interlochen. I'll bring something (with no calories) to light up for the celebration!!!!
We will do 3.33 miles. (Just kidding - but can we try??)
This is an official event since I started the MiGirl Membership! If you have your buttons, please wear them! WITH BIRTHDAY FLAIR.
ALSO! MEMBERS - Please bring a friend for FREE to try us out! (Just register them under the free ticket on the same order as yours, so I know they are a guest of yours.)
If you aren't a member yet, you can join here: https://michgirl.com/plans/membership/ If you want to come try us out first, you'll pay more, and walk away spellbound. Welcome!
Tickets:
Free (if you bought the PRO membership)
$5 (if you bought the regular membership)
$15 for newcomers who want to try us out first and be spellbound.
GUESTS - Pro and Regular members may bring one free guest to see what all the biffs are about.

MiGirl MOM WALK - May 19 - “Pieces of Our ❤️ List!”
The thing that makes the MiGirl Mom (Wine!) Walk special is the Pieces of our ❤️ List - at the start of the walk, I read aloud the names of those we are walking for. This is the hardest and best part of the walk for me. I feel so honored to read and say these names for you - and that we are all coming together as one (wine drinking, laughing, sometimes dancing mob) for those we love and miss! You can get your tickets here!

My mom would be wildly impressed with the idea of serving fuzzy navels to 150 women at once - her favorite drink. I tried pouring those the first year for a toast all at once - but you all drank them before I had a chance to toast! SO now I get the colored ribbon wands and we wave those after I read all the names - yay! (But I am still serving the fuzzies, don’t you worry.)
Please join us on Sunday, May 19 from 11am-1pm at Timber Ridge Resort in TC. The walk is 1 mile (can you handle it? There are shortcuts but the wine stations will force your hand). There will be 3 wineries, 2 food vendors, music and more! In the last two years, we have raised $5k for Smith Family Breast Health Center.
This year’s sponsors include: Bonobo Winery, Jimmy John’s, Rove Winery, A. Papano’s in Kingsley, Moomer’s, Ace Hardware and Susan Soffredine Rauser - State Farm Agent. And we have a new sponsor this year - Boyne Valley Vineyards!
You can get your tickets here! (Be sure to include a name for the <❤️> list!)
Pricing is $55 for members or if you buy 2 or more tickets. It's $60 for non-members. Thank you, ladies, for sharing your special someone with us all at this event each year! If you would like to sponsor (in-kind or cash sponsorships start at $250), please email me at kandace@michgirl.com.
MiGirl Mackinac Island - May 10-12 Reservations due 4/5/24!
Our 2024 trip is May 10-12, 2024 - visit www.michgirl.com for rates. I am doing a spring sale on my last Main Street 2 Queen Deluxe room - this room overlooks Main St. (you'll awaken to the clopping of horses going by!) - Double rate was $679 each but spring sale - $649 each for double (2 women) - I have 1 left! It’s cheaper yet if you bring a posse of up to 4 women. I also have a couple suites (with living rooms!) overlooking the harbor. YUM!!!!
