The Marbletucky Inn, opening this summer at 189 South Bridge Road, Marblehead, will be bringing a new and yet familiar dining and entertainment experience to Ottawa County.
The tradition of island food, whether on the southern or the northern coast, is “food that makes you feel good, like you are coming home to Grandma’s house,” says manager and co-owner Kelsey Rider-Bell.
The churches of the county were dressed in their finest linens and festooned with lilies and spring flowers on Easter Sunday morning.
The congregation of Marblehead’s First United Church of Christ processed to the lakefront for a near-sunrise service on the cool morning. The worship service, led by Rev. Kay Cox, featured guitar music and candle-lighting to welcome the Light of Easter morning.

On Saturday morning thousands of pastel plastic eggs were scattered over the lawns, parks and grounds of Ottawa County. By mid-afternoon, most had been harvested by treasurer-seeking children.
In Port Clinton at 10 a.m. over 250 basket and bucket toting youngsters and their entourages fanned out across the courthouse lawn. In a matter of minutes, the lawn was swept clean, and lines gathered for photos with and additional treats from the Easter Bunny. As a bonus, the fire truck that brought the Bunny was available for climbing on and in. The hunt was sponsored by the Port Clinton Recreation Department.
