Doris got the bug to get up to Pumpkin Patch and see what's what at this
major Door County festival. In fact, she found herself decorated with
all kinds of nasty pumpkin bugs on the first day of Egg Harbor's Annual
Pumpkin Patch Festival. She spent the two-day extravaganza at the
Dovetail Gallery on the north end of the village.
Doris
was hosted by Dovetail owners Kathleen Mand Beck and husband Tom Mand.
Kathy is a renowned egg artist and Tom creates copper garden sprinklers
designed by Kathy.
As I travel around soaking up the essence of Door County, my photographers and writers will always be along. I'll keep them extra busy documenting what I find. And I plan to find a lot to share with you, dear reader.
My first gallery consists of some personal portraits of my fine-looking self when I was still in sunny California, living near Anaheim. They were taken shortly after I had my whole body worked on ... wow did that set me back a bit ... and I didn't get any bailout or stimulus package from Washington!
Did you know that there's a new club for VW enthusiasts in Door and Kewaunee counties and beyond? There is. Spawned by the loneliness Doris often feels for other VWs and by the zeal of her owners, the Peninsula VW Club started its engines in 2009!
Saturday, June 13 ... The club's first event of the summer season is called "Rally 'Round the Lights" and is held in conjunction with the Annual Door County Lighthouse Walk. VWs of all vintages and types and VW enthusiasts of all ages are welcome to join the fun. The majesty of Door County's historic lights will be graced by an elegant entourage of one of the world's most loved automobiles. New or vintage, VWs rule!
Doris got herself all gussied up and traveled over to the
annual Bayland Classic Car Show at Jim Olson Motors in Sturgeon Bay.
Over fifty vehicles of all kinds and vintages entered the competition.
There was everything from cars of the early part of the century to
modern-day modified cars, trucks, and motorcycles. It was a very hot
day but Doris sat in the sun like a princess and charmed her admirers.
