It will begin at 6:00 p.m. with the tropical calypso sounds of the Toledo School of the Performing Arts Steel Drum band and a strolling dinner. A live auction with Greg Peiffer will follow. The evening will conclude with the popular band “Paradise Island” as you dance the night away. Tickets are $100 per person and can be purchased at Bassett’s Market, Mary’s Blossom Shoppe, and Magruder Hospital Gift Shop.
Book Shines Light On Marblehead’s Beacon
Marblehead Lighthouse On Lake Erie is the newest addition to The History Press’ Landmark series. The book is by local author, James Proffitt.
When the Marblehead Lighthouse first lit its flame in 1822, it drew on whale oil. The beacon flickered through lard, kerosene and LED lights over the next two centuries, while the tower weathered razing and reorganization. Despite the advent of GPS, the light still provides a solid basis for boats and ships to navigate the near shore waters of the peninsula. The lighthouse’s rich history boasts the first female keeper on the Great Lakes, as well as a place on Ohio license plates and on a U.S. Postage stamp. James Proffitt gives an in-depth profile of the most photographed site in the state.
