Have you ever been curious about the Lake Erie science that takes place at Stone Lab on Gibraltar Island? Do you want to take a peek inside Cooke Castle or peer down from Perry’s Lookout? Well, grab the opportunity at the 12th Annual Friends of Stone Lab (FOSL) Open House from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, September 12, 2009.
