Downtown Petoskey Ladies Opening Night
With November only being less than a few weeks away opening day of deer season is on the horizon. My husband is an active outdoorsman and also hosts hunters safety classes in the City of Petoskey. Soon, him and many other husbands will be venturing off for a week or weekend at the infamous deer camp leaving their wives and significant others at home. Some wives relish this time of year and it’s the perfect time to get away with girlfriends, even if that means enjoying a short staycation close to home here in downtown Petoskey.
