March is Women’s History Month, the perfect time to celebrate the women of the Lakeside Literary Club and their 97-year history. Come meet the women who helped shape the village of Frankfort and Benzie County using style, warmth, intelligence, strength, and lots of fun. The Benzie County Players will join the fun with an act from a play that the Lakeside Literary Club put on in 1930 at the Garden Theater. Come join and help us celebrate!
