Another Pumpkin Patch is behind us and again it was a huge success… the weather was in the high seventies all weekend which helped. We had some great volunteers this year including volunteers for the Randy Pluff benefit (more on that at a later date), Southern Door 8th graders and the Maritime Museum. I thought the bees were going to be a huge problem since I got stung not once but twice on Friday when we were cooking brats. But Saturday and Sunday the bees didn’t seem to be a huge problem. The University of Wisconsin Marching Band did their Fifth Quarter performance compliments of Dave and Vonnie Callsen from Main Street Market. Always a hit with the crowd is Big Mouth and the Power Tool Horns.
Here are some random pics of the craziness…

And none other than Mark Sawyer is in charge of cooking the brats for the Egg Harbor Business Association… It’s a lot of fun working it but I think the beer helps.
Next up… Sister Bay’s Fall Festival!
