The phrase 'It's not about what you know, but who you know' was exemplified today at Quiet Creek AFC. We were fortunate to have Richard Wells visit our facility with his horses, Evelyn and Molly, and his carriage, offering our residents genuine Mackinaw Island Horse and Carriage rides. With a long history of providing horse-drawn carriage rides on Mackinaw Island, dating back to 1964, Richard's expertise created a memorable experience. The carriage (build in 1903 in New York) which has been in use on the island for 110 years and was originally owned by one of the Stroh brothers, founders of Stroh Brewing Company, added a nostalgic element to the event. We are grateful to Richard and his wife Linda, who resides with us, for sharing this experience with us.
