FALL/WINTER 2007

From the crunch of leaves underfoot while picking vine-ripened pumpkins or exploring a corn maze, to the twinkle of lights at the holidays and the joys of splashing in the water while snow falls outside, Ohio’s Lake Erie Shores & Islands will be an inspiration to you and your family this autumn and winter!

Kick back with an abundance of farm markets and pick-your-own orchards. Experience hayrides, detailed scarecrows and apple butter making. Fall is perfect for visiting vineyards to sample Ohio’s best wine. Six wineries offer wine tasting as well as gifts, tours and entertainment.

Enjoy fall foliage or winter landscapes on scenic drives, which include opportunities for sightseeing, shopping and dining. Take a spin on an antique carousel or see a Broadway show in a historic downtown.

Winter offers adventures in this year-round destination. Millions of lights twinkle at the Festival of Lights, available from Thanksgiving until New Year’s. Santa Claus arrives on Ohio’s north coast by ice breaker, along with the Christmas tree ship. Experience holiday celebrations like long ago at a historic village or Presidential estate, which also offers sleigh rides. Thousands will visit Port Clinton, “the walleye capital of the world,” to see a walleye drop, welcoming 2008 in style. Embrace winter at Sandusky’s Arctic Ice festival, which features ice boat races.
