Pooch Parade Delivers WOOF Lots of Fun
Put in Bay Pooch Parade, held on Saturday morning June 13th, found four-legged, furry friends gathered together to display their character and charm. From big to small, these furry friends marched with ease. They were proud and barked all the way through DeRivera Park. Morning breeze blowing and sunshine glowing made for a magical morning. The annual parade is a beautiful event bringing the community together with their loyal companions.

La
ke Erie, well-known for marine sporting activities, fierce storms, and gigantic lake freighters, continues to present a dynamic environment on all three fronts.
This week, the barge CROW rests inside Put-in-Bay Harbor at night after a full day’s work along South Bass Island’s west shore. Nestled in-between the mooring field and Gibraltar Island, CROW floats massive equipment with the somber stillness of a sleeping giant. One must imagine the crane’s dinosaur-like growl . . .
