Hook & Hunting: National Coho Salmon Festival

If you’re a fish fan and looking for a family-friendly event, head to Honor in Benzie County for this weekend’s National Coho Salmon Festival.

The annual festival began in 1967, a year after Coho salmon were first planted in the Platte River. Festivities start Friday at 3 p.m. with a performance by Jesse Jefferson.

Other events throughout the weekend include a cornhole tournament, car show and euchre tournament. For the little ones, there will be events like a coloring contest and petting zoo.
