Found this at the Detroit Historical Society's website and wondered if any of you had ever been to the event ... and found it worthwhile from a holiday shopping or other standpoint?

A friend of mine and I will be there selling at one of the tables. We'll be the ultra affordable spot! We already have a "Bargain box" planned which will have ship books and papers, we'll have 4x6 ship photos for just a quarter each, Lake Boat DVDs for just $5, DVDs of the final tow of the 1898 built EM Ford leaving Saginaw, and train videos from around Michigan, 8x10 ship photos, framed and unframed, for $5 or under, holiday decorations, and more. If you are interested in lakes history, shipping, or other aspects of the lakes, the marine mart should be worth your time. Come by our table and say hello! |
