Jefferson Street in Sturgeon Bay is the venue for a small but fun Saturday festival in July. On the city's northside, this street has a large number of small shops and galleries on both sides, often referred to as the Jefferson Street Shops. You can't miss them if you're headed out of town, since this is the main drag and flows into Egg Harbor Road and then back to Highway 42/57 north. It doesn't take a long time to capture the essence of the fest.
Although weather conditions have taken their toll on this year’s fresh cherry crop, The Wisconsin Cherry Growers Association, headquartered in Door County, would like to inform residents and visitors alike that there will be cherries available for sale this summer.
A new lady named Doris has recently joined our team here at DoorCountyTravelersJournal.com. And what a special staff member she is! We're thrilled she has accepted her new position, which has primary responsibility for searching out interesting Door County places and people and transporting our writers and photographers to them. As we get busier, we sure could use the help! Doris started work on July 5, 2008. She comes to us with a wonderful travel background. Here's a short bio on Doris.
Fish Creek is at the heart of tourist life on the Peninsula. Along with Ephraim, it is pretty much the most centrally located area for the hustle bustle of shops, restaurants, and places to see. Approaching from the south on Route 42, you'll come down the steep hill into town. Turn left for Founder's Square and the White Gull Inn, turn right for most of the downtown shops, and go straight to the bayfront and marina area. There is a public parking lot near Founder's Square, or you may find a place right on the main drag, which is Route 42.
