All new for 2012
THE BIGGEST WEEK
BIRDERS' MARKETPLACE
This year, The
Biggest Week makes a VERY BIG and VERY
EXCITING move to Maumee Bay Lodge and
Conference Center in Oregon, Ohio. Located
right on the shores of Lake Erie, and less
than 30 minutes from Black Swamp Bird
Observatory and Magee Marsh Wildlife Area,
The Lodge is a fabulous place to serve as
home base for The Biggest Week. With all of
this glorious space, and the full support of
the Lodge Staff, we are pleased to offer
space for vendors in our Biggest Week
Birders' Marketplace!
