It was all about the ladies with Diva Fall fashion events throughout the weekend with the Diva activities and over 100 one-of-a-kind shops and eateries, Downtown Bay City.
It was the perfect place for girlfriends to stroll, shop, and dine ... and "get away from it all!

Feedback on our comment cards from Cocktails in the City was all positive. The ladies loved being in the Shearer Building and having the opportunity to go into the condo model."
