Door County Rib Fest

Door County's best restaurants will prepare ribs in
hopes of being crowned Door County's Rib Champion today at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 692, Tacoma Beach Road in Sturgeon Bay.
Tasters are invited
to sample ribs along with other fixins. DJ/Kareoke, silent auction,
and more. Rib fest runs from 4-9pm. The $15 per person fee goes to benefit one of Door County's great ideas, Neighbor-to-Neighbor Caregivers of
Door County. Among many other great services, Neighbor-to-Neighbor maintains an inventory of medical equipment that people can borrow at no charge. If you've ever had a procedure or an accident and been shocked to see the fee for a boot, or crutches, or a walker, you'll appreciate how valuable this exchange can be.

This apple enjoyed its last morning hanging form the branch yesterday at Seaquist Orchard in Ellison Bay. The apple harvest is coming in fast, and they don't come any fresher than right now in Door County.
