Door County Renaissance Fantasy Faire - Sep 4, 2009 - 11:24:35 AM

UPDATE: Today we received word that the Faire has been cancelled for 2009 due to a serious injury to one of the principal organizers. The event will likely be re-scheduled for sometime in 2010. Please join our staff in thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery.  -Editor  9/4/09

There's going to be a brand new event in Door County starting in 2009. A Renaissance Fantasy Faire will be held from Sept 26 - 27, and Oct 3 - 4, 2009 at the Gerald Keuhn farm. The location is just north of Carlsville on Monument Point Road. Plans include horseback activities including jousting, customed players depicting the 16th century, and craft and vendor booths. The family-friendly festival is to be modeled after the Renaissance Faire that has been staged for many many years near the Wisconsin-Illinois border.

Egg Harbor's Peg Egan Performing Arts Center Opens Second Season With Richie Havens - Jun 28, 2009 - 3:30:06 PM

Richie Havens ... remember him from Woodstock?

The Door Peninsula was settled by farmers, lumbermen, and fishermen more than 150 years ago.  Arriving from countries around the globe, the early pioneers knew long days of unending hard work.  But at the end of the week, it was music that filled their homes, simple instruments like a guitar, fiddle, flute, jaw harp, accordion.  The rare piano arrived with a flourish and soon became a gathering point for sing-a-longs.

Yes, 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.

Join the Egg Harbor New Year's Parade for Zany Fun - Dec 8, 2007 - 2:31:25 PM

The Egg Harbor New Year’s Parade has been a happening for over thirty years. How many places have a parade on such a day? Isn’t that day reserved for football, recovery from New Year’s Eve, and generally schlepping around at home and accomplishing little? Not so in the charming village of Egg Harbor, Wisconsin, a place which suddenly comes to life on January 1 in the early afternoon. In fact, it celebrates life, Door County style. So how did this parade get its start? A short history lesson begins the story of one of Wisconsin's most interesting parades.

Gelato, or literally, Double Delites in Egg Harbor - Aug 30, 2007 - 11:42:03 AM

According to Wikipedia, Gelato, or the plural Gelati, is Italian ice cream made from milkand sugar, combined with other flavorings . The gelato ingredients (after an optional pasteurization ) are frozen while stirring to break up ice crystals as they form. Like high end ice cream, gelato generally has less than 35% air - resulting in a dense and extremely flavorful product. The name comes from the Italian word gelare, meaning "to freeze".

Bravo for The Bistro! - Jul 5, 2007 - 4:30:00 PM

You don't need to take a trip to Paris or the Gold Coast of Chicago to find a little eating place that fits the usual definition of the word "bistro". There's one right in Egg Harbor, and it's convenient, upscale (but not particularly pricey), and it's the new kid on the block.

The Bistro at Liberty Square is now open in Egg Harbor. It's at the southern end of downtown. A few years ago this same location was home to a small diner with a 50's motif, complete with a couple of classic cars parked out front. Now, under new ownership and totally remodeled, it's an attractive, airy, and sparkling clean eating place and more.
