Greetings!
As the calendar flips to March and Spring is ushered in, a
well-deserved season of renewal awaits you in South Haven. Make it a point to visit South Haven and Van Buren County and see her unfold in Spring! Serene, tranquil and utterly captivating are just a few words to describe it.
So why not head to South Haven for Spring Break? You may not have warm sunny beaches (you might, you never know in April), but you certainly can have fun & adventure! An escapade without the fanfare and with plenty of excitement waits in your own backyard. This popular tourism destination, a one-tank trip for many, promises all the fun without the budget busting price tag. Look for Spring Break Family Getaway Deals in the Packages section found at southhaven.org!
Any time of year, we invite you to make South Haven your own special haven!
Your friends,
South Haven/Van Buren County

Cogdal Vineyards
Wine Release Party in
South Haven
Come and visit us for our first release party! Cost is $5 per person. As most of you know we cannot serve food so...to make it a real party we would like to ask everyone to bring a food dish to share. We will be releasing 4 new wines. This will be the only time all vintages will be available for purchase at the same time. One of the new releases is a very limited red blend called vision. This will be the only time it will be offered for tasting. |
Brandy Zdan Concert in
South Haven
Emerging for the first time as a solo artist in 2013, Brandy Zdan is anything but a rookie. In 2003 Zdan co-founded Twilight Hotel with Dave Quanbury and together they recorded 2 JUNO nominated albums (Canada's Grammy equivalent) - 2008's Highway Prayer and 2010's When the Wolves Go Blind - forging a sound that critics likened to "old leather, worn and soft" and earned them the handle "rulers of their own genre."
$15 reserved, $10-15 suggested donation at door.

Can you imagine the South Haven Pier without our famous lighthouse? It could happen. Our century old South Haven lighthouse is in need of some major attention! It looks beautiful on the outside, of course, but on the inside it's a different story! Corrosion is threatening to destroy the base, seams, windows and stairs. It has been estimated that the cost of repairs to preserve our lighthouse for another 100 years will be $275,000. In 2012 the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers handed ownership over to the Historical Association of South Haven who has recently made a separate committee to collect financial support for preservation efforts. You can attend an information session on February 26 at the Historic Hartman School at 5:30pm. In the meantime, be sure to check out their website at www.southhavenlight.org and YouTube video! |
