The beginning of summer arrives tonight in downtown Vermilion with the town’s Third Thursday event tonight. For those of you not familiar with Third Thursday, it is a celebration which has various musical performers stationed throughout the town and, of course, flowers along with a great sunset all totally free of charge!
So take a minute from your hectic schedule to walk downtown Vermilion and hear everything from a barber shop quartet to vintage Grateful Dead tunes and much more tonight in Vermilion.

As you can see in the photo below, the anglers are up and at it early in the quest for the perfect catch. As warmer and warmer days arrive the boats are headed toward the water.
We here at Romp’s have plenty of great spaces to choose from for the captains and crews who have yet to settle on a port. Not only does the marina have many great amenities from pool to picnic shelters, but the town of Vermilion has events going all summer long. Music, Movies in the park, sunsets and fine dining all within walking distance of Romp’s.
Stop by Romp’s and see why summer is waiting! For more information on Vermilion’s events visit MainStreetVermilion.org

We awoke this weekend to the iconic Vermilion River Bridge hidden away under cover. For those of you who haven’t been to town in awhile there is a lot of sprucing up going on about the city in celebration of the town’s 175th birthday.
Part of the ongoing repairs and rejuvenation include the painting of the Vermilion River Bridge and the Water Tower. Seen above the paint crews have constructed a “catch all” cover to stop any material from getting near the water or car traffic.
As seen here the Water Tower is also due a face-lift courtesy of the Vermilion Port Authority and generous donations from citizens.
So we as both boaters and motorists have to use some extra care navigating this summer as all this activity takes place, for in a little while the town will look the best its been in decades!

Every so often an opportunity comes along where we end up with a boat that needs a good home. In fact there is nothing sadder then a boat without an owner.
So this April 29th at 2pm we are going to auction off an abandoned 1996 28′ Baha fisherman hard top. This boat has been sitting uncovered for over two years. This Baha is offered “as is” with no warranty or guarantee of condition whatsoever.

The pool was uncovered today as yet another sign of the summer fun to come not to very long from now. Though it is not quite operational, it sure looked good after a long winters nap.
Everything is on pace for a great Memorial Day Weekend opening so get your swimsuit out of storage, it won’t be long now.
