Lake
Aire Tavern
Edward Polinski
built and operated the Lake Aire Tavern and his brother,
William,
built the Northwoods
Rest Motel
next to it. The Lake Aire Tavern burned down and Edward
rebuilt it as a supper club and kept the Lake Aire name.
Glenn Giese
eventually purchased Lake Aire Supper Club (Lake Aire
Tavern) and operated it for a few years. He had
John Armentrout
manage
it after Glenn purchased Ed Gabe's Supper Club (Lost
Lake Resort). When Ed Gabe's Supper
Club burned down, Giese returned to operate the Lake
Aire again. He operated it for some time and it
also burned down.
Charles
DeSmit bought the site Lake Aire Supper club had been on
and constructed the "Pub 'N Prime" in its place.

again. The building was removed to make way for
the new Camp's Super Valu building. |

operated it until 1913, when he sold it to his
son-in-law,
Clarence Shannon.
Shannon later sold it to
Ed Gabe,
who changed the name to Ed Gabe's Lost Lake Resort. Ed
sold it to
Robert "Snuffy" Smith,
his brother-in-law. The resort was finally condoed and
the supper club was sold to Glenn Giese. The supper
club burned down a couple of years later. The top photo
