Port Sanilac residents can kick off St. Patrick’s Day early with live Irish music on Sunday, March 15th. The Sanilac County Historical Society is hosting a fundraiser concert at the Blue Water Sports Bar. The local band Ourselves will perform Irish ballads and songs inspired by Michigan’s Great Lakes. Admission is free, but a $5 donation helps support the county’s Historic Village and Museum. The bar will also serve half Reuben sandwiches for $5. It’s a festive way for neighbors to celebrate St. Patrick’s weekend and local history together.

In Sarnia, Police Chief Derek Davis is drawing scrutiny for spending taxpayer money on marketing videos to promote a proposed $91 million police headquarters. Freedom of Information records show more than $10,000 was paid for videos meant to boost public support—without going through a public tender. The spending comes as a legal fight escalates between the police board and Mayor Mike Bradley, who cut funding from the ’26 budget, calling it unaffordable. The board argues the new facility is legally required for effective policing.
