Looking for a cool fall "Up North" event? Check out the annual "Wooden Boats on the Wall" September 17, 2011 in Leland, Michigan. This free yearly event plays host to Leland's finest wooden boats, all on display up close and personal. The event takes place on the quaint and tidy grounds along Leland River in the heart of Leland. The village of Leland harks back to its roots as a fishing village and still has some of the original structures of that era. The wooden boat show fits right in with this historic town. Dozens of wooden boats are on display with many owners nearby for interesting facts and history of the boats. Often free music entertainment is offered and food is available on site or at the many cafes and restaurants in the village. Next to the boats is an impressive antique and classic car show.
While you are there take some time to explore and experience what the Today's show has called America's most beautiful place!
