Yes, that’s right folks the legendary Richie Havens of Woodstock fame opens the season of concerts at the Peg Egan Pavillionright here in little old Egg Harboron Sunday night. The concert is open air and free (yes, FREE)… bring a chair, food and drinks and enjoy the music, friends and a sunset. The concert begins at 7 pm with opening act Harry Manx.
And for some unknown reason you aren’t familiar with the folk/ soul music icon, I have included a clip of Richie from his 1969 Woodstock performance… And in all honesty, in 1969 I was only ten years old and living in Cary, Illinois so when everyone was talking about Woodstock, I thought they were talking about a nearby town…crazy kid.
My BFF Nancy Anderson was here last week so we had a sleep over at her cottage in Ellison Bay. After lounging on the dock all day and doing a bit of kayaking we decided to head to Fred and Fuzzy’s for dinner. It was packed like rats but the service was good, Cherry Margaritas delish and our food yummy… oh yeah and there was a sunset. Can’t get any better than that now can you?
We also ran into David Rack who owns Door County Kayak Tours. He gave us the lowdown on his new venture Door County Zip Line atGravity Trails. It is pretty interesting… Watch our dinner and zip line movie…
Here is a look at the kids kayaking in Egg Harbor this week…
Our kayaks are for our guests to borrow to take down to the beach in Egg Harbor but if you are looking for a little more adventure you could call our friend David Rack who owns Door County Kayak Tours and which perfect for the beginner or expert kayak enthusiast. He knows every possible spot in the county to kayak. We have gone out with him a number of times and just had a blast. He is located right here in Egg Harbor at the Door County Outpost… There is always something to do in Door County!
The Fourth of July will be here before we know it and at Egg Harbor Lodge we celebrate it in a big way. The fireworks are held the evening of the third… if you prefer to watch them on the 4th you can go over to Baileys Harbor. Egg Harbor Lodge has a float every year… when we get a good one we tend to repeat it for a few years. We start decorating the float in the a.m. of the big day and barely get it done before showtime which is 1:00. We plan on having refreshments for our guests out by our sign which is the perfect place to watch the parade. It gets hotter than heck so bring sunscreen. Here are my girls and me last year in our float… there is water in the hot tub by the way.
"Have the Girls Gone Wild at Egg Harbor Lodge? We plead the Fourth!
There will be food and drink at Harbor View Park in downtown Egg Harbor beginning at 3:00 on July 3 with a free concert by the Mango Brothers beginning at 5:00. The fireworks begin at dusk which is probably around 9:45 p.m. I still have a couple of units available… Don’t miss out on the fun!
