Too bad it won't be arriving until March, but this one looks like it should be a sell-out if those folks in Southwestern Michigan get behind it. Paul who's seen it says the ice really has a different look and feel from the snow and while in general, I'm not in favor the lighted pieces, I think the lights on this one -- especially the walk way lights -- really make it sing. Kudos to Harry Hine -- and to Don and Tony for getting behind it!

I really like this one except for the "legs" om the base. I like looking at snow but I don't like being in it!

When I get home next week I will be shooting closeups of the lights and posting them here in the Forums... My wife Sue had one word when I showed South Haven to her when I was shooting this image last Thursday.. Cool!!! 2008 catalog..
Onward to The Land of the Midnight Sun!

I really like this piece and I don't even collect MI lights except the Big Bay that I have.
I think the snow and ice on this looks so real that it resembles cake frosting and looks good enough to eat!
I am not partial to lighted pieces either, however I am in 110% agreement with John, the walkway lights are absolutely awesome.
I look forward to seeing Paul's wonderful close-ups of this piece.
In conclusion, the only down fall that I see, was already mentioned.... those darn little feet (They stink, and no pun intended).

This is a spectacular light and I have already gotten my order underway. I totally agree about the lights. On this baby, it is a fantastic enhancement! I think, overall, the piece is so awesome that the feet won't take away from it - otherwise, I usually dislike them intensely. Harry, what can I say?! You continue to outdo yourself!

I'm not big on lighted pieces, and I don't like the feet, but think this one may be something different to look at in my collection.
If anything, I would have liked the piece to be a little longer, maybe show more pier.

I really like this piece and I am tempted to buy it even though I started limiting myself to Northwest pieces a few years ago due to lack of room. This one is unique and looks just like a picture I saw a week or so ago. I love it!
