Fundraiser to launch for ‘Michigan Geological Discovery Center’

Northport Trading Post owners’ Scot and Jennifer Wack have big plans for the future of their business and the Leelanau community.

The family-owned rock shop opened in 2020 and has evolved into something the couple says they never expected.
