The fun typically includes ice-breaking conversation over snacks and beverages followed by dancing to a DJ's tunes, with the business conducted in-between. Some nights more business happens, but on a typical evening it's concluded in about 30 minutes leaving plenty of time for entertainment. What kind of business? Filling up trips! Announcing trips, answering questions. Also, announcing and answering questions regarding upcoming events. And, asking and answering questions!

The Details
We play a casual and friendly 5-round game with a different partner for each round.
Euchre season begins again in just 3.5 weeks! Due to a number of factors, attendance is now largely comprised of non-club members. This was never the intent of our Euchre event; it was always intended to be a fun evening of camaraderie and socializing around a friendly and casual game of cards where one could meet fellow members who also enjoy the game.
Starting Sept 20, Euchre Night will be a Members Only event held in my home, with a new buy-in price of $5. I will provide some very light snacks, but please eat dinner before arriving and BYOB. Please plan to pay your $5 at the door and bring quarters for euchres.
Due to space, we are limited to 19 players (4 tables w/3 sitting out per game) with sign-ups on the website beginning 2 weeks before the event. There will also be a waitlist if it is full when you try to sign up.
Please be courteous to others by cancelling your sign-up ASAP if you cannot make it; by doing so, the next person on the waitlist will automatically be moved onto the player list.
Let’s play cards!

About Valley Spur
Valley Spur is a favorite Alger County destination for dedicated cross-country skiers and snowshoers. It is located on M-94 approximately 5 miles west of Munising, Michigan in the Hiawatha National Forest.
The 27-mile cross-country trail system is groomed daily or as the need arises from December through March so that the trails are always ready.
All trails are groomed for both skate and classic ski.
Valley Spur usually enjoys a deep snow base thanks to heavy accumulations from the lake effect off Lake Superior.
