The Waterfront Film Festival is officially going on
the road. WFF
organizers announced that the nationally recognized 15th
annual non-profit event
will take place in South Haven, Michigan, June 13-16, 2013!
Filmgoers, actors, producers and directors share the excitement as outstanding independent films from all over the United States are screened in casual, intimate settings. Entertainment professionals from Los Angeles, New York and Michigan created the Waterfront Film Festival in 1999 to provide a "middle coast" venue for independent filmmakers eager to show their work to sophisticated audiences. The festival has succeeded with growing support and recognition each year, and enthusiastic reviews from attendees. We invite you to participate!

Greetings!
We're thrilled to introduce you to the premier issue of the South Haven/Van Buren County Convention & Visitors Bureau newsletter! Just two hours northeast of Chicago and within close proximity to other metro markets, we're in a glorious little beach town where shop owners and innkeepers still greet visitors like old friends, and you travel back in time to a place and a pace that was simpler. Nestled in the southwest corner of Michigan, South Haven rests on the western edge of Van Buren County along beautiful Lake Michigan.
Like migrating birds, many visitors are called here in the spring. Farmers' Markets open, the Tall Ship Friends Good Will sets sail and boating enthusiasts race to launch their boats. This is the perfect time to watch South Haven come alive.
Read on to learn more about a handful of activities & events happening in March. We invite you to spring forward with us here in the South Haven Area! For more things to do, events, & information on places to stay, please contact us at:

Victor & Penny is Jeff Freling and Erin McGrane, a Kansas City and Chicago born duo singing music they call Antique Pop on ukulele and a lovely old guitar.

Victor & Penny impress and delight audiences with their infectious energy and deft and oft-surprising jazz guitar licks anchored by a fiery one-ukulele rhythm section. The duo toured the USA in 2012 and was recently awarded the 2013 Escape To Create Artist Residency in Seaside, FL. Cost: $8-$12. For more information: www.foundryhall.org.
