The Second Annual "Beacons Around the Bay" has begun! Lighthouse models skillfully adorned by individual artisans and even groups are on display on the downtown streets of Sturgeon Bay. You can see them (and even touch them) until September 1, 2007.

The auction of the artist-created beacons will take place on September 1 at Bay View Park in Sturgeon Bay.  Proceeds of the auction will benefit local non-profit organizations. The event begins at 4:00 pm with food and beverages.  A band is scheduled to play that evening from 5:00 - 7:00 pm. Bidding begins at 7:30 pm. Take home a real collector's item!

Pictured here are lighthouses from the very successful First Annual event in 2006. Our favorite was the lighthouse shown in the lead photo ... looks a bit like a church. It did command a tidy sum at the auction. Oh well. Not sure where one puts such an object anyway.
