The Grand Hotel in Mackinac Island in Michigan has always closed before Halloween but this year for the first time in 129 years, they will be throwing a special “Halloween at the Grand†weekend, from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1. The hotel will create a Haunted Trail for explorers, hold a pumpkin-carving contest, serve breakfast with a Bloody Mary bar and station psychic mediums in a tearoom for guest readings. The centerpiece Saturday night Halloween party includes a costume contest, live music and free beer and wine. Rates start at $949 per couple for the weekend, including most meals.
Shame I won't be there to see how great this place will look decorated. Crazy that they don't do this every Halloween, but I guess they have started to see "money-sense".
