Welcome to April! It's finally starting to warm up out there. There are hints of green and there's life poking up out of the mud. The birds are returning and the sunshine seems warmer.
We're so excited to share the beauty of Lake Michigan and Manitowoc County with you this spring. The Manitowoc Area Visitor and Convention Bureau encourages everyone who steps through our doors to visit our local partners for all their springtime wants and needs, and get out there and breathe the fresh, spring air!
"Came the Spring with all its splendor,
All its birds and all its blossoms,
All its flowers and leaves and grasses."
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, from The Song of Hiawatha
