News from the Week

The top story for the week was the huge array of events over the next couple weekends: Art Leelanau, the Suttons Bay Jazzfest and the Cherries Jubilee Musical this weekend, the 2nd Annual Traverse City Film Festival next week and next weekend features the Suttons Bay Art Festival, Sleeping Bear Dunegrass & Blues Festival and Port Oneida Fair.

Other stories included news on the hearing for a proposed development along the Lake Leelanau Narrows and news that the developers behind a proposed Leelanau wind farm will wait until Centerville Township planners have created zoning to regulate commercial windmills.
