Residents can check out Dakota Creek Industries’ longest vessel next month.

An open house on the M/V Grant Candies is scheduled for Saturday, Aug. 9 before the ship is delivered in late August.

The 2,600-ton, 292-foot merchant vessel is owned by Otto Candies, a Louisiana-based marine transportation and towing company. Representatives from Otto Candies, including Otto Candies Jr., are expected to be at the event.
