                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JACK BERGMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 30, 2023

  Mr. BERGMAN. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize Horn's Gaslight 
Bar and Restaurant for 90 years of exemplary service. I would like to 
congratulate the Horn Family and their staff on their success and wish 
them many more years of success.
  The Horn family has a long and celebrated history in Mackinac. In 
1915, Ed Horn first came to Mackinac Island to work for the Michigan 
Life Saving Service, the predecessor to the United States Coast Guard. 
During Prohibition, Ed Horn leased the building that would become 
Horn's and opened a pool hall and snack shop. In December of 1933, 
following the passage of the 21st Amendment. Ed finally opened Horn's 
Gaslight Bar and Restaurant as we know it today.
  Since its start, Horn's has been a staple of Mackinac Island. During 
the day you can hear lively piano music drifting out the door and see 
eager customers dining on the renowned southwest cuisine. When the sun 
sets, the chairs are pulled aside, and the dance floor comes alive. 
Horn's is a favorite late-night spot among locals, workers, and 
visitors alike.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to congratulate Horn's Gaslight Bar and 
Restaurant for 90 years of outstanding service. I'd like to wish the 
Horn family and their staff all the best in their future endeavors.
