If you’ve never heard of this band, you’ll get your chance on July 11 in Egg Harbor.  The Ghost of Paul Revere is an American Folk/Alternative Country Band originally from Portland, Oregon.  Their traveling tour will take a soul/rock anthem throughout the country and Sweden! 

They began with just acoustic instruments and made a style they called, ‘Holler Folk’.  Since then they are doing things they wouldn’t have done six years ago.   They enjoy creating new things to challenge their music. 

The band will be performing at the Peg Egan Performing Arts Center on Sunday, July 11 at 7pm.  Bring your chairs, beverages and snacks for a fun evening of music.  The good news, we still have rooms available!

The Bertschinger Family recently sold the Alpine Resort and Golf Course after 100 years of ownership.  The new owner plans to restore the resort and bring the Alpine back to life.  They are also making improvements to the golf course and club house which will be open this season to the public.

I was so pleased to hear that the new owner loves the property and wants it to remain a lodge and golf course.  I am looking forward to all their improvements.  It will be fun to watch.

The season opens May 7, which means summer is on its way! 

I always wondered about the history of farm markets.  Did you know they date back to Egypt over 5,000 years ago?  Farmers along the Nile came together to sell their fresh produce.  The first farmers market in the US started in Boston in 1634.  Thereafter many markets throughout the country started.  In Door County, you’ll find a market open somewhere in the county except on Monday and Thursdays.   

Here’s the lineup:

• Ellison Bay Every other Friday, 4-8 pm, behind Mink River Basin, 12010 Hwy 42 – Opens May 7

For more than 35 years, Memorial Day weekend features the Jacksonport Maifest run.  This year it has a new name, the “Jacksonport Lake to Lake 10K and two-mile run/walk”.  The race will be held on Saturday, May 29 at 9am at Lakeside Park in Jacksonport.

The 10K runs along Highway 57, onto Lake Shore Road, and continues to Clark Lake and returns along North Cave Point Drive.  The two mile route is an out-and-back along Highway 57 and Lake Shore Road.  Both races start and finish at Lakeside Park.

Race shirts are guaranteed to all runners who register by May 10, and they will be available on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the race.  

All proceeds support the Jacksonport Fire Department.
