To the editor: I have served as District 5 Leelanau County Commissioner for 14 months now and I am continuously disheartened by public comment at county meetings and letters to the editor from county residents who do not check their facts before sharing their views.

With the cancellation of the 2024 Leland wine and food festival finally a reality, the thought of not being able to raise a glass at this local function is a chink in the armor of summer plans. For more than 30 years, the Leland Wine and Food Festival served as a pillar of Leelanau County’s wine industry that brings visitors in from far and wide to taste what Leelanau vintages have to offer. 02/28/2024 04:44 PM
