Beaches and boats are not the only neat things in Port Huron. There are a lot of old and new buildings that are very interesting. The tower at McMorran Arena is an atten- tion getter. It was built in 1965 and used as a lookout. It has 100 steep stairs, and had to be closed to the public because many people fell down them. The light house at the Coast Guard Station is another historical site. It was built very poorly in 1825. It collapsed in 1928 during a storm. It was rebuilt in 1929 and is still in use. Parades are very popular in Port Huron as they are in many cities. The Blue Water Festival Parade is Port Huron ' s biggest and favorite. People come early in the morning to save a place to sit for the parade that takes place later in the evening. You can find lawn chairs chained to light poles and mail boxes. The parade has a variety of entries such as celebrities, many bands, the Big Red Marching Machine, floats, antique cars, clowns and many more attractions. You can always find something to do in Port Huron, from hockey games to fishing or if those don ' t fit your taste you can cruise town on a Friday night. Port Huron has so much going for it. Maybe thats why so many people, SAY YES TO PORT HU- RON! Community
