One of Leelanau County’s biggest employers has been back in business since Friday when the Leelanau Sands Casino in Peshawbestown reopened its doors to the public. “It feels very good to be able to welcome both our guests and employees back to the Leelanau Sands Casino and Lodge; and although our doors were not open for guest gaming the prior two months, there were many of us still working from home and through meetings to ensure that when we did reopen it could be done with the highest level precautions where safety is concerned,” said Jesse Ward, a tribal member and manager of the casino. *** As the weather warms, Lake Michigan beckons.
