43rd Annual Port Clinton Walleye Festival kicks off the summer season
PORT CLINTON, Ohio — Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to the summer for many in our area. But for people in the Port Clinton area, it's the Walleye Festival. It was a windy but dry Monday in Port Clinton as hundreds of visitors from around Ottawa County and beyond were in town enjoying the 43rd Annual Walleye Festival.
Downtown Fremont has seen a rebirth. But do you remember scenes from the past 50 years?
It’s good to see that there is lots of activity in the Fremont downtown area these days. Cars parked along the street and people walking, hopefully to do some serious shopping or enjoy a meal or entertainment, are good signs. And activities are planned to bring visitors down during the year.
Ohio DNR has new wetland project going near Sandusky Bay
SANDUSKY — Another H2Ohio wetland is being built to improve water quality in western Lake Erie’s Sandusky Bay, this time near the Pickerel Creek Wildlife Area roughly halfway between Fremont and Sandusky. The project complements others done previously in the Sandusky area near the Cedar Point amusement park. Some of that work was shown in the fall of 2022 to 35 people, including U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown (D., Ohio) and some Bowling Green State University researchers. Scudder Mackey, Ohio Division of Coastal Management director, said the multiple coastal wetland projects in various stages of development in the vicinity of Sandusky Bay are a first for the Great Lakes region. The bay has been a long-overlooked part of Lake Erie that has harbored a different type of toxin-producing algae, planktothrix, from the toxin-producing microcystis that’s in the majority of the lake’s western basin.
