🚨Rec Hall receives significant facility upgrade during 78th resorting season

CURTIS, MI — In mid-July, during the busiest part of the resorting season, the Rec Hall received one of the biggest facility upgrades in modern resort history. New barn doors were added to the building to make it easier for resorters to come and go.

“This was a long-planned upgrade that’s time had finally come,” said Jay Bitely, owner and operator of Birch Shores Resort.

A project that was started in June by the infamous Marc Fox — and subsequently abandoned — was picked back up by Oscar, Paul, and David on painting duty. AnnJo served as project supervisor.

“The installation of barn doors was a hard, grueling task but was well executed and carried out by our talented crew,” said AnnJo, who supervised the installation from the comfort of a side by side.

Resorters will now be able to slide the barn doors open to access the rec hall, a major improvement from the accordion style old doors.

As we usher in this new era of ease of entry, please pause for 30 seconds as we remember the old doors ushered out of their long and faithful service to make this new day possible.

New Wake Up Service Activated at BSR Ahead of July 4th Holiday Weekend

CURTIS, MI - Around 9:30 AM on Tuesday, Resorters were awoken to the dolcent tones of chain saws, wood chippers, diesel engines, and the pleasant beeping noises from heavy trucks backing into position.

Cloverland Electric Co-Op was on site without warning to trim trees on the main resort property. Chaos soon began.

Resorters staying in the Circle and Terrace were cut off from the outside world, unable to get past the array of tree trucks parked in the lane, severing vehicular access to the lower resort property.

“Wow, I’ve never seen a traffic backup like this in the 50 years I’ve been coming here,” said one resorter who wished to remain anonymous to speak freely about the tree trimming operation.

“We’re told the unannounced work will conclude by Music by Da Beach at 1 PM today,” said Jay Bitely, owner & operator of Birch Shores Resort. “Our artist-in-residence Dennis Peacock will be able to perform without distraction. The show must go on!”

NEW: The B-Grand Cafe at The Belvedere Grand is open seven days a week from 8 AM until 1 PM. They offer a wide array of caffeinated beverages, baked goods, morning sustenance, and interesting adult beverages. Where else can you get pretzels with beer cheese for breakfast? The B-Grand Cafe has all of your morning needs covered.

Your intrepid correspondent visited the new establishment, located in what was the gift shop area in the former Chamberlin’s restaurant, to see what’s what. Assuming the undercover role of a famished vacationer, your correspondent attempted to order an egg sandwich and a Frappuccino.

Due to overwhelming demand, your correspondent learned that food items sell out fast, and that many of the baked items — and the egg sandwich — had sold out by 10 AM. However, your dedicated eyes and ears was able to acquire a mocha frap, which tasted good.

Make sure to check out the B-Grand Cafe on your next visit to Curtis. You won’t regret it.
