Progress at Vermilion Harbor's east pier is moving along nicely! We’re laying cut stone on top of the gravel that was added after steel sheet piling was placed. The stone being used is the same stone that was part of the east pier's original design allowing for a similar look.

There are heart-breaking stories every year of children found alone drifting in a boat because an adult went overboard. 💔 Set a good example for your children and always wear your life jacket. It’s an InVestment you won’t regret. 🦺 #LifeJacketsWornNobodyMourns
