Steelhead Stocking This Friday at 10am.
The Vermilion River Fish Drop takes place on April 25 at 10 am. 50,000 fingerlings are poured into the wild Vermilion River. Join the crowd at the South Street Launch Ramp to see this phenomenal event, then relax and enjoy our friendly little town.
The Division of Wildlife annually stocks five Lake Erie tributary streams with 6-8" yearling Little Manistee River (Michigan) strain of steelhead. These fish migrate out into Lake Erie and spend the summer in the cooler part of the lake, before returning to streams during the fall through the spring. The Vermilion River is scheduled to receive 55,000 steelhead.
The stocking will take place at the Vermilion Public Ramp and will be attended by representatives from the Dept of Wildlife, ODNR, Vermilion Port Authority, and local officials.

Diary Dock opens..all is right with the world
Every fall with the cool air of autumn sweet tooth enthusiasts get a feeling of emptiness when Vermilion's long time Ice Cream hotspot, Romp's Dairy Dock, closes for the onset of winter. Kids go back to school, life seemingly shifts it's focus from boating, warm weather, sunny days on the beach, and a Dairy Dock ice cream cone in the shade to a period of waiting, and wanting. Oh the wanting.
Today the waiting is over. With Spring comes a sense of renewal and also a chance to get your brain freeze on. Whether it's orange, vanilla, chocolate or a swirl combination with nuts (or other toppings), the thought of a sugar fix on a April afternoon watching the Vermilion River roll by is a part of the fabric of living in Vermilion. Soon little leaguers will start to appear in mass, then bike riders, boaters, soccer moms, baseball dads and all will be right with this small piece of the world.
Don't let todays soggy start stop you from what's important in life, PEACE.. LOVE... AND ICE CREAM!

Train whistles a thing of the past?
VERMILION -- The whistles of trains through Vermilion have become a deafening wail due to increase train traffic, but soon Vermilion residents will get some respite.U.S. Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Toledo, joined Vermilion Mayor Jean Anderson yesterday to announce the grant.
The city will use the money to help pay for ''quad gates'' at four crossings, so that the trains will no longer have to blast their warning whistles. Vermilion has five street-railroad intersections, with those at Perry, Adams, Grand and Main streets very close together.
''I am pleased to honor this commitment to a more livable community,'' Kaptur said. ''I applaud the city and its concerned citizens for working together toward a solution that will result in a safer, more peaceful community.''

Snow Melts Away, Spring Hopefully Not Far Behind

The amounts listed below are two day totals from last weekend in Lorain and Erie counties. The good news is forecasters are predicting some relief to Lake Superior and Lake Michigan both of which were near the lower end of their water level cycles and feed the lower lakes.
