Port Lambton event highlights beauty of St. Clair River

Port Lambton event highlights beauty of St. Clair River


A brand new event in Port Lambton will highlight the beauty of the shores of the St. Clair River.

The first ever Mermaids and Mariners on the St. Clair is being held next month at Brander Park.

Organizer Sherri DeWolf said it’s a chance for people to come out and experience the scenic views of the river while having some fun.

“We find that we just really haven’t done enough to really recognize this beautiful area that we live in,” said DeWolf. “Through my business, Deeply Creative, I attended an event in Key West, Florida. I came back and thought ‘we don’t really do anything here to celebrate this gorgeous area that we live in’. I decided it was time to bring my beach bag of skills back to my hometown and here we are.”

DeWolf said the free family-friendly event takes place on Saturday, August 20 from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m.

“We have over 50 vendors, artisans and makers,” she said. “They’ve been asked to complement the actual theme of the event by doing actual products that are nautically themed.”

There will also be food trucks, the Landshark Lager ‘watering hole’ grassy patio, and a ticketed event with Ariel from the Little Mermaid.

A full list of the day’s events can be found below:

10am-6pm – 50+ Vendors, Artisans & Makers / “Grub Grotto” (Food Trucks – Brit Boys Fish ‘n’ Chips, Dog Days Southern BBQ, Delizioso Italiano, Dips Soft Serve Ice Cream Truck, Ohana Ice – Hawaiian Shave-Ice & Treats) / Boat Display (St. Clair Boat Sales) / Collaborative Community Painting with Cyn Fay Studio

Platte River Cruise Events gets to a hot start

NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) -Platte River Cruise Weekend events officially got under way on Friday. This is a weekend where cars of all makes and models get a chance to be on display and to be glorified by car lovers.

The weekend kicked off with the Freestyle Burnout, where cars in a stationary position spun their wheels, causing friction on the tires which heat up and cause smoke.

“Everybody likes the burnout contest, its a lot of fun and there’s a lot of excitement as well,” said Rob Coppa, founder of the Platte River Cruise Events.

Saturday is day two of the weekend events and starts with the opening ceremony at 8:45 a.m. at the Canteen District. The night finishes with performances by No Drinking On Grounds at 6 p.m. and The Grind 5280 at 8 p.m.
