The Bay-Arenac ISD Career Center provides supplemental career instruction and experience to high-school students in the Bay and Arenac counties of Michigan, and as part of the center's culinary arts program students gain hands-on experience by working at the Blooming Chefs restaurant. For the past seven years, it has been a tradition for the students to save their tips throughout the school year, pool them, and have a traditional end-of-the-year celebration at Michigan's Adventure amusement park in Muskegon.
