Suttons Bay Floatilla Update

1,750 kayaks and canoes showed up for the floatilla in Suttons Bay--just 200 shy of the World record--but I am happy to hear that organizers want to give it another go next year. Judging by how difficult it was to cross 22 as we left the marina, Suttons Bay was busy and busy is good news for our local businesses. Part of me cringes when "tourist season" hits our normally quiet peninsula, but part of me gets it and knows that without the yearly influx of visitors, Suttons Bay would be yet one more small town that falls apart at the seams.  And we don't want that ...
