We did not have the number of crafters we had hoped for, but we did have a high traffic flow at the shop. If you sell crafts, or know someone that does, they won't want to miss next year's event. It promises to be even bigger and better. Watch this space for more details. In 2009, all the money raised via the space rental will be donated to the Great Lakes Lighthouse Festival.WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYINGHere is what folks are saying about our books.Terry Pepper "Anyone planning on experiencing the majesty of Michigan's lighthouses first-hand will be well served by taking these books along to serve as your guide."Dan and Bev Ainsworth "We really enjoyed using the scenic routes.

We had 14 folks from all over the Mid-West. In all we visited 9 different lighthouses including Squaw Island and Fox Island where we got off the boat allowing us great close-up views of these majestic lights. I've received calls asking if we are going to do this again next year (2009). I hadn't really planned on that, but if it sounds good to you, send me an e-mail at Bugspublishing@aol.com and I'll see what kind of interest we get. TRIP 2009The plan is go to the Apostle Islands next year. This trip is almost a done deal. We will be going with a charter that will take us by Zodiacs to each island. It's way to early for prices yet, but keep your eye on the site for updates.SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTSTeachers, need help with your Michigan History class?
