                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 30, 2023

  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to congratulate The Pink 
Pony of Mackinac Island on their 75th anniversary. A bright sight at 
the end of the ferry dock, The Pink Pony is widely celebrated for their 
extraordinary live music, refreshing drinks, and mouthwatering 
whitefish dip.
  In 1948, as a part of the Seahorse Cottages, the pub first opened its 
doors. Though it wasn't until a renewal project by the original owners 
in 1956 when The Pink Pony was given its iconic name and design. Today, 
the restaurant maintains its classic warm feel while continuing to 
provide outstanding service and a welcoming atmosphere.
  The Pink Pony has become a focal point for the residents and tourists 
alike. Sitting at the end of the Port Huron to Mackinac Sailboat Race, 
the bar is a favorite of sailboat racers and features the ``Pink Pony 
Yacht Club'', complete with pennants from competitors from all over the 
world.
  Critically acclaimed as one of the best outdoor bars in the United 
States, The Pink Pony consistently receives rave reviews and national 
awards. Recognitions include `The Most Iconic Bar in Michigan' by 
Thrillist, and `One of America's Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining' 
by the Daily Meal, as well as many more accolades.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize The Pink Pony, for its 75th 
anniversary. I wish The Pink Pony many more years of success and wish 
the crew the best in all of their future endeavors.
