Dreaming of a boat ride on Lake Erie? The Lakeside Wooden Boat Society (LWBS) is excited to offer Sunday Evening Boat Rides this summer.
Thanks to the generosity of passionate, volunteer boat owners, free 30-minute boat rides will be offered on Sundays, June 14-Aug. 23, except for June 21, July 12 and Aug. 2 for LWBS’ popular Pirate Adventures and July 19 due to the Lakeside Wooden Boat Show.
