Tasting Wine Might Get You SAILING



The Superior Watershed Partnership invites you to a wine tasting on Lake Superior. This fundraiser takes place on June 24, from 5-8pm at the Presque Isle Pavilion on Presque Isle Park, Marquette, Michigan. All proceeds go towards the protection of Lake Superior. Tickets are $35/person and are available at the SWP office on Presque Isle, Marquette Arts and Culture Center, Huron Earth Deli and online at the SWP website. Please join the SWP in tasting 13 new summer wines, listening to the Dave Zigner Trio, light appetizers, and enjoying local art. For more information visit the SWP website at www.superiorwatersheds.org or call (906) 228-6095.


Also, at the event enter to win a sail for 4 on the historic Coaster II Schooner out of Marquette's Lower Harbor. Raffle tickets will be available at the door for $10 each.

You may have seen the Coaster II docked at Lower Harbor. Captained by Nick Economides, this ship is a one-of-a-kind, wooden hulled, gaff rigged, top-sail schooner. The Coaster II is a registered historic ship and a well-known vessel among traditional sailors and boat builders. Designed as a 19th century coasting schooner, she is authentic, with a flying jib boom, catheads, a real lunenburg windlass, deadeyes, sway hooks, carved taff rails and other features not found on vessels built after 1900.
