All the Good News about Port Sanilac 

Greetings!
March has arrived and with it the first signs of spring.  There are large pools of water in many of our fields, swans and robins have both been spotted in the area, and the pack ice is moving along the shoreline.  It was a beautiful winter here in Port Sanilac, but we're all pleased to see the longer hours of sunlight and are looking forward to the flowers peeping out soon.  Don't miss out on this season change, take a drive and enjoy mother nature in action.  On your way, visit our restaurants and shops for a treat.  We'll see you in Port Sanilac.
