NOVI, Mich. (PRWEB) December 14, 2017 -- The 11th annual Cottage & Lakefront Living Show returns Thurs. March 1 and runs through Sun., March 4 at the Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi.
“Walk through a full-size cabin, put your toes in the sand at The Beach and find out about replacing a dock or seawall, adding unique cottage and outdoor furniture or see the latest in water toys,” said Dawn Baker, show manager of ShowSpan, Inc. “Our preseason show is perfect for property and vacation homeowners or those looking to buy, build, rent or maintain cottage and lakefront property.”
Adults and children are invited to build a sand castle at The Beach, the show’s giant sandbox. Families can place a pin in an oversized Michigan map to show where their cottage is located and learn how to set up a cottage family succession plan at a seminar. Attendees can list their cottage or look for availability on the Cottage for Sale or Rent Board.
Michigan artists at the Cottage Fine Art Show will present metal art, wood furniture, jewelry, photography, cottage décor and paintings for sale. Home décor, decorative accessories and handcrafted items will be available for purchase at the Lakefront Marketplace.
DreamCatcher BoatWorks of Grand Rapids will display custom-built stand up paddleboard, canoes and kayaks and demonstrate handcrafted building techniques. Michigan Chapter of the Antique and Classic Boat Society, dedicated to the preservation and enjoyment of historic boats, will have restored boats on display.
Exhibits with displays, information and educational materials include lakefront cottage and homebuilders, new construction log, timber frame and cedar homes, realtors, cottages for sale or rent, cottage furnishings and accessories, shoreline and cottage landscaping, lakeshore maintenance, docks, decking systems, boatlifts, seawalls, outdoor recreational equipment, stand-up paddleboards, financing and other products and services.
