Only a few more days till the annual Leland Wine and Food Festival. It is held in the Leland Harbor, with great views of Lake Michigan and the Manitou Islands. The music this year will be performed by the Fabulous Horndogs so be ready for a really great time as they always put on a "fabulous" show. Would you expect anything less? You can sample wines from Leelanau Peninsula vintners and purchase many of your favorites at the Leland Mercantile on Main Street, or the Village Cheese Shanty down in Fishtown. A really nice sampling of foods are available from several local restaurants and specialty booths.
Today was such a beautiful day. I could barely stay focused on my tasks in the store, so I finally decided to take a quick walk around the corner to Fishtown. It's amazing how walking just a block away from Main Street can seem like you have walked into a different world. The breakwall in the Leland Harbor looks as though it is just a snow covered mound. Water is flowing heavily out of the dam and there is still some snow on the beach. It looks like tomorrow will be warmer - it was still pretty chilly, despite the wonderful sunshine. It won't be too long till we see Dave back the the Village Cheese Shanty making his famous pretzel bread sandwiches!
