Leelanau Almanac: Week of May 6 – May 12

Well, you can tell it is May by the number of events happening around Leelanau. If you missed Wednesday’s Growing Grapes in the Home Garden Workshop, don’t worry the MSUE has many events scheduled throughout the summer. Coming up this weekend is 7th Annual Empire Asparagus Fest. And if you are looking for a house to purchase, be sure to attended the Suttons Bay Village Open House Blast. Then mark you calendars next Saturday for the newly revived Lake Leelanau Walleye Festival. Then head up to Northport for a little fun at the 5th annual Y.A.C.apalooza, with live music, games, and food. Want do see your events included here, add them to the leelanau.com calendar, for free.
