🚢 Historic lighthouse parade sinks due to lack of interest. The Fairport Harbor Historical Society canceled the "Parade in the Port" boat event that would have celebrated two significant lighthouse anniversaries in Lake County, Ohio. Originally scheduled for June and postponed multiple times, the parade was meant to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the original Fairport Harbor Lighthouse and the 100th anniversary of the Fairport Harbor West Breakwater Lighthouse. Despite the parade's cancellation, the society celebrated with a 200th anniversary gala earlier this summer honoring the original lighthouse built in 1825. The marine museum and rebuilt 60-foot lighthouse remain open to visitors Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
