News from the Week

The week’s stories included a feature on Michigan Surfing from Absolute Michigan (packed full of photos, links and great surfing videos) and a couple of new Leelanau on Location features for the Old Art Building in Leland (site of this weekend’s artist market) and the Sleeping Bear Dune Climb (where Sunday’s Manitou Music Festival Dune Concert will be held). We hope that these pages (with map, photo and background info) help people get around and enjoy Leelanau more easily!
