And two trips for the price of one--color tour and lighthouse tours. Many lights are open and expecting visitors during the festival and aren't that far apart so you can do several. We plan on going every year unless something important and unexpected comes up.

We need everyone to put in the good word with Tony that HL should continue to support the Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival as much as possible even though times are tough and he was very disappointed in the turnout for last years HL events in Alpena. I was very impressed with HL's support last year!--especially sending Harry and sending special HL items for the auction.

While discussing the Middle Island Little Light HL299 custom error, I was thinking that this might be only the second LL error piece (and only custom) besides HL123 Point Arena, CA (had state as "Carolina"). Does anyone know of any others??
