Put-in-Bay, South Bass Island, Ohio

Scraping the last of the ice - Miller Ferry dock @ Catawba

My father (partner) and I spent some time on South Bass Island yesterday and today.  We met a client with an island listing we sold this week and serviced another listing with sign updates and new fliers.  After a drive around the island to see what was new we had a wonderful - and very large for the price - fish dinner at Tippers.  With friendly staff, two large pieces of perch and walleye per plate, and $1 beers how could we go wrong?

After dinner we went to the Chamber of Commerce meeting which also had a review of what is happening in Put-in-Bay.  The community is thriving with arts, the fire department, historical groups and church groups all participating.  The businesses are gearing up to prepare for what is expected to be a very, very busy season with the Battle of Lake Erie Bicentennial.

If you haven't yet scheduled lodging for the upcoming historical events you should do so quickly.  I don't think space will last this year.  We stayed at a B & B that changed hands recently.  We represented the seller.  The Getaway Inn with proprietor Dan was wonderful.  He made us a fantastic breakfast and we enjoyed good conversation.

If you are considering a vacation this year, whether a week or a weekend, consider vacationing on our Lake Erie Islands in beautiful Northern Ohio.
