Time to Decide! We need a Final Head Count and Payment by Thursday, September 17th!
This is a Friendly Tournament and NOT A FUNDRAISER! The entry fee covers dinner and the facility. There is not an entry fee for the Tournament. The Prizes are from our Sponsors. Please support them with your business.
This year, the Annual Euchre Party will be held at the Lafayette Grande in Downtown Pontiac!
This is a BIG change for Erica and Jimmy. For more than 20 years, they have hosted the Annual Euchre Party at their home. There is something special about a house party that simply can't be duplicated. Change can be scary.

This year, the Annual Euchre Party will be held at the Lafayette Grande in Downtown Pontiac!
This is a BIG change for Erica and Jimmy. For more than 20 years, they have hosted the Annual Euchre Party at their home. There is something special about a house party that simply can't be duplicated. Change can be scary.
However, last year's party drew 89 players and pushed their home to its limits. There are even more people who would like to attend this year. On top of that, hosting the event requires a tremendous amount of work, from setting up tents, tables, and chairs to coordinating food, parking, and cleanup.
In some ways, moving to Pontiac is actually a return to the party's roots. The Annual Euchre Party began when Erica and Jimmy lived in Pontiac, and one of Pontiac's biggest advantages is its central location and easy access from all parts of Oakland County.
The Lafayette Grande is a beautifully restored historic Masonic Temple that has become one of the area's premier banquet venues. It has a unique character and charm that feels far more welcoming than a typical banquet hall. We believe the atmosphere, combined with our focus on fun rather than prize money, will help preserve the relaxed, friendly feel that has always made the Annual Euchre Party special.
The Darbyshire family also has a long connection to this location. Jimmy's brothers, David and Ricky, own the building and large parking lot directly across the street, which the Lafayette Grande uses for parking. Jimmy spent many years working there, so the venue feels a bit like home already.
As for the party itself, the cost will be $35 per person, which includes dinner. Parking is free. We are not charging anything extra for the Euchre tournament to keep costs down and the event FRIENDLY!
