The 26th Crisp Point Lighthouse Conference is scheduled for July 20, 2024 (usually the third Saturday of July). We will meet at 9:00 a.m. for a light breakfast at the Whitefish Township Community Center, located at 7052 N. M-123, Paradise, MI 49768. We are planning a very special summer conference for the 120th Anniversary of Crisp Point Lighthouse called Crew Con! We will be giving everyone an update on the current happenings and future happenings at Crisp Point starting at 10:00 a.m. Lunch will be around noon and we are excited to announce it will be catered by a local business that specializes in "grazing tables"! We will have door prizes, a 50/50 raffle, and a silent auction with fabulous items! Crew con will be moderated by Andrea Guerriero from DRE Designs.
