Why the Tables?

The building that has housed many eateries including most recently Smuggler’s Cove remains just a memory since it was taken down last year. 

The folks at the All American North Country Store and American Classic Roofing & Building Supply who own the property decided lakeside dining on the site of the once popular venue might still be desirable.

The result?

They sponsored a series of picnic tables placed along the lake for the pleasure of anyone who might want dinner (or lunch...or even breakfast) with a view.

We contacted the owners who sent us this:
“We just wanted to put them there so the community could sit and enjoy beautiful views of the lake. We are still thrilled to be part of this great Newaygo community.”

Kudos to the kindness shown and the opportunities offered by these fine businesses.
And if you haven’t been to their Hess Lake store since they have transformed it into an extraordinary little oasis of convenience, you really need to stop in.

Their ice cream cones are the perfect treat to enjoy at those inviting tables along the lakeshore.
​
Well done folks. Well done indeed!
