It isn't summer in the Islands until the Boat Sheaux poster is out 😍⛵️🇺🇸

The Les Cheneaux Islands Antique Wooden Boat Show has a rich tradition of promotional posters going back almost to the beginning in 1978.

We are pleased to announce the winner of this year's poster contest which was created right here in the Les Cheneaux Islands by our friend, Susan Hamberg!

The contest was sponsored by 4Front Credit Union and received entries from artists all over the midwest. The best of these entries will be on display at the boat show for all to see.

If you'd like to purchase one of these posters (or a poster from years gone by) for your collection - they will be available at both the Les Cheneaux Historical and Maritime Museums.

Don't forget - tickets are already on sale for this year's show - visit www.LCIBoatShow.com.

Looking for things for the kids to do on Mondays here in the Les Cheneaux Islands! We have Make It Mondays here at the Les Cheneaux Historical Museum from 12pm - 5pm. Come in any time between those hours to learn about pollinators, how important they are to the community and how we can help them. You'll even make a Pollinator Station to take home with you.
