We were visited today by classes from Mott Community College.  Students preparing for the Hospitality industry toured the Marv Herzog Hotel, as well as spent time at Frankenmuth FunShips, learning about the workings of a small business.  The photo is a small group in our Candy Kitchen.  We wish them well with their career advancement.

Thanks to all our Friends and Guests for a successful 2010 boating season on the beautiful Cass River.  We invite you to our store where you can have fun in our wine tasting room, tasting wine and chocolates.  Special Gifts are available for  the Holidays and for your special occassions.

The Maples are at their peak, with other tree species to turn soon.  Visit us soon on the Frankenmuth FunShips Fall color tours.  Remember our wine and chocolate tasting cruises all through the season.  Call 989-652-3400  (warm enclosable boats)

We had an absolutely delightful time with this group of ladies from Gladwin Michigan.  Called the Tittabawasee Tarts, they came to Frankenmuth for a Gala Get Together, and enjoyed wine and chocolate tasting with us.  We look forward to their return.

I took photos today to demonstrate how the Maples are actually in full color.  Of course other tree species will still be turning in the next couple of weeks, such as willows, oaks, and beech.  We are in the midst of a beautiful fall spectacular on the River right now.  Plan to join us soon for a Frankenmuth FunShips Color Tour.  Call 989-652-3400 for other detailed info.

This beautiful view along the river shows the start of color on the first bend in our tour.  More color follows.  The upcoming weather is supposed to be beautiful. Plan your trip to Frankenmuth now to experience the Fall Color Tour on our Frankenmuth FunShips electric powered boats.  Remember the Boats are totaly enclosable for warmth and comfort along the way.  Bring your camera.  You may also rent one of our Aqua Cycles and peddle yourself to beautiful color.  For further info call our store after 10:00 a.m.. 989-652-3400. Remember we’re located north on main street next to the Frankenmuth Brewery.

Ash and Maples are turning now.  Willows and Oak will soon follow.

Color is gaining.  Just a hint of Red showing up on a highbank as we go along on our tour.  Not alot of color yet; but should show up at a faster pace soon.  Plan your visit to Frankenmuth now.  Take the Frankenmuth FunShips color tour.
