Put-in-Bay, Ohio Christmas in July 2008 is set.

When: July 24 – 26
Where:  Put-in-Bay, Ohio

Theme: Christmas in July is the busiest time of year on the island.  There are a number of bar contests, prizes, costumes, christmas themes, etc. 

You can view the lake at Lakevision.com

The Mid-May trip to PIB was simply awesome. 

One of the highlights of the trip was getting to see the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.

The exhibits were pretty cool to see up close and in-person.

Then it was a nice drive over to the island on a sunny, beautiful day.

We stayed at a new bed and breakfast.  It was nice waking up to a lake side view during the weekend.  And of course, I had to eat my lake perch. 

The wine was already in full season swing, so this year I bought a new wine from Heineman’s Winery called the, “Gewürztraminer”.    It was a sweet, white wine that was a bit different than I am used to drinking from this winery.  http://www.heinemanswinery.com

Our second trip will be during the 2008 Christmas in July.  (More information to follow later.)

We have now scheduled two trips (so far) to Put-in-Bay, Ohio for 2008.

The first trip will be in Mid-May.  Our agenda will be different than the norm.  Our goals for the May trip will be to see the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.  Then we will head over the Catawba Island hop aboard the Miller Ferry to stay on the island the entire weekend.  This trip we are going to go visit Middle Bass Island.  We have never seen this island before and want make it our first experience.  We plan on eating at new restaurants we have read in the Put-in-Bay Gazette.
