I'll defer that to the other members that have stayed before. I've never stayed in any of them. :)  There are some that I could not recommend if specified.

I usually stay in Clare. The Doherty is a nice old hotel right in downtown Clare. (Right across from the White House 24 hours breakfast & burgers)

There is another hotel just as you come into Clare...a Days Inn or something like that. I've stayed at each and both are ok
Why not just 1 pain free day?

I stay in Mt Pleasant. Fairfield Inn is my favorite. Only a 20 minute drive to Jeff's place.

My advice on aging gracefully... ride fast bikes and date faster women, drink good tequila, practice your draw daily, be honest and fair in your dealings, but suffer not fools. Eat a hearty breakfast, and remember, ALL politicians are crooks.

I love that place!! I was going to buy a Half Track there last year but it wouldn't fit in my carry-on. ;D

Here is basically the timeline of the pig roast. (more or less) :D

The Pig roast has evolved into more then Saturday.  Anyone that wants to come Friday is more then welcome, but be prepared to be assigned a job, like holding down a chair or something.  ;D   For any one here, we have a supper that evening and get the pig in the roaster.

Saturday morning we have a breakfast for anyone that is here early or still here from the night before. The actual pig roast as far as we are concerned is underway as soon as the pig hits the roaster the night before.  We try to eat around 12 or 1, something like that. When ever everything comes together.  If you don't show up until then, that's fine, but you are really missing out if you wait. In the afternoon we usually gather around and have drawings for door prizes that sponsors (and sometimes members) have provided.  There is no end time.  Usually its around midnight or after before people drag up and go to bed.

Sunday. Some people hang out or stop back by to visit and help pick up the biggest of the remains of the night before.

What to bring. Yourself and spouse, your kids, swim cloths if you want to swim. If you want to bring a dish to pass, that's cool, but totally unnecessary or expected.

There is a flea market less than a mile from my house. It may be open friday because it is next to the fair grounds, and that is the last weekend of our county fair this year.
