An eventful summer in Michigan City


MICHIGAN CITY - It is my first summer as a resident of Michigan City and I cannot remember any time in my life where there was so much going on.
Michigan City is a town on the rise. With at least one really fun event every weekend, the city is a destination spot for any summer traveler.
We had the Supr Boat Grand Prix events and race day last Sunday. The Taste of Michigan City was a successful event with local eateries displaying what they have to offer without the crime of the similar Chicago event.
And Franklin Square is the place to be the first Friday of every month, with art, shopping and dining opportunities for anyone who strolls by.
We still have the Lakefront Art Festival this weekend and a few more weekends of Washington Park beach being packed with swimmers from around the Midwest.
Next week, the In-Water Boat show should serve as the anchor event for the end of summer, when more than 2,400 students head back to school in the city.
Joe Doyle and the Summer Fest committee have done an excellent job making this a cool place to go in the summer.
