| County Clare , Ireland , was the original home to the first settler to this area. The bountiful hunting land here at Clare, Michigan, was named for his homeland. The surrounding area here in Northwestern Michigan offers many opportunities for peace and recreation. Are you a fellow Irishman? You’re cordially invited to visit Clare during the March Irish Festival—four days of parades, Irish dancing, Leprechaun contests, and music. Clare is a participant of the Michigan Main Street program, sponsored by the Michigan Economic Development Corporation. If you’ve visited here before, be sure to come back and take in the revitalization. One landmark in downtown Clare is the Doherty Hotel, which has been in operation since 1924. A 10,000 square foot conference center is coming soon to this historical establishment. Looking for some action? Let’s hit the Gateway Lanes for some bowling, then head on over to the Mt. Pleasant Speedway for the races. The Soaring Eagle Casino offers a chance for you to try your luck at slot machines, craps, bingo, and blackjack. Maybe you think you’ll have better odds at horse racing at the Mt. Pleasant Meadows. Canoe trips, golfing, boating, fishing, and rollerblading are just some of the activities available for the outdoor enthusiast. Come see us at Clare, Michigan—“Up North” Begins Here. |
