One of the best car shows in the nation, year after year. P.S. St. Ignace is actually the 5th oldest continuous city, after St. Augustine, Santa Fe, Sault Ste. Marie, and Providence.
@JUDGGYHOTMAIL Thanks Judy, yes...this is a great car show, run by the same man since the beginning 30+years ago. Many car shows have sprouted up everywhere but St. Ignace continues to be one of the most popular.
As far as the city history, every historian and reference in our area shows St. Ignace to be the 3rd oldest continuous city, behind St. Augustine Florida and Sault Ste Marie, Michigan.......and we wear that claim proudly.
It's an annual event where we celebrate the French heritage of St. Ignace, For some reason, the French have been given the nickname Frogs so we just are having fun with it and we celebrate with french style, their hats, foods like (frog legs, Rabbit and Gleasons, etc) , an auction of local items and local stories. Profits benefit the historical society. Lots of Laughs too!
This video sux, I used to live in St Ignace and i miss it sooooo much. Been in miss(erable)ippi 8 years now. Theres no place like home and Im comin back someday soon. Really its a great video, just made me miss it that much more, I have very fond memories, Is the Flame restaurant still there anyone? I helped open it in the spring of 1999. All my very best to all Michiganians, especially yoopers.
Well, hope you get to make it back. Yes, Flame is still there but now is bank owned and ready for new ownership. There, just open it again:) Glad you enjoyed the video.
Ive never opened the same restaurant twice!! LOL We have great fare here in the south but Im cravin a pastie w/brown gravy and a white christmas. Its just not the same decorating palm trees and mowing the grass under them in december. take care, thanks for the reply mackinacp
Very nice video. I'm from downstate, and the Saint Ignace area is my favorite vacation spot in the state. Bessie's Pasties and BC's Pizza rock; NOTHING like that down here!
I'm from the island and St. Ignace has always been our mainland home. This is a pretty good video and its good to see you guys getting some attention.
Ok Guys, Yes, I screwed up on the Corvettes, I KNOW THEY'RE Vipers BUT hey, it was too early in the morning and the font is embedded in the video so it stays. Will Car Show Reavie ever forgive me? Of course he will")
