News from the Week

The top story of the week (at least for the under 6 set) is our exclusive video of the otter family at the Leland Harbor (I was informed by one reader that after watching it, her daughter now wants to be a baby otter). We also linked to a neat Leelanau Drive slideshow and profiled upcoming Art Leelanau Benefit, the Northport Community Art Center's production of The Sound of Music and the Traverse City Film Festival.
