We LOVE a parade!

Door County’s July 4th Parade

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010

Here is my video of the July 4, 2010 parade in Egg Harbor.  What is missing on the video?  My “friend” Bruce Hill from the Lull-Abi Inn dumping an entire bucket of ice water on me, the man and his son jumping on our float and trying to be in the parade with us (mission aborted) and our own float in its entirety.  What our float consisted of was Mark and I riding on a bed and the signs say “Make your own fireworks at Egg Harbor Lodge!” and the sign on the hot tub with our girls said “Leave the kids at home!”

And of all the video I took, who lands on the front? That’s Jeff Larson from the Landmark Resort... damn!

Door County’s July 4th Celebration…

Saturday, July 3rd, 2010

Looks like a picture perfect weekend for the July 4th holiday.  Egg Harbor’s fireworks are set for tonight and Egg Harbor’s parade is at 1:30 tomorrow.

Door County is full to the brim right now, but come Monday… mass exodus.  The weather will be awesome next week, so a trip to Door County may be in order for those of you who could use a little mini vacation.

We are going to hang out at Egg Harbor Lodge tonight and then head to a friend’s to watch the fireworks.  Tomorrow, the “building of the float” begins.  Every year we think we can’t finish in time, but every year we do.  Watch for my parade pics next week.

Happy 4th of July !

Christine

I stopped in at Christine’s Casuals and Classics this week to check out Christine’s new inventory and check things out.  When she says classics she means it.  I am notorious for ditching old clothes. I think the only things I have in my closet that have a few years on them are the things I purchased from Christine’s or the things my best pal Nancy sent me from Mark Shale in Chicago.  Christine has some really beautiful clothes for Spring.  If I were going to some super cool event (I’m not) I would totally pick up one of her really beautiful dresses, sweaters (beaded of course) or a really great skirt.  She has trendy jewelry, Spring jackets and of course there is a sale room.  She has tons of cute summer tops (I may have to stop back and get the red and white striped one I was eyeing up).  If you bring your significant other and they aren’t into shopping, he or she could hang out on Christine’s  fantastic front porch and listen to the game or music… or walk down the street and get a beer or margarita and meet up later!  Anyway Christine’s is located in a darling remodeled old house painted yellow with a white picket fence… you can’t miss it.  Check it out next time you visit our fair village.

PS… Christine is our Baton Twirling Santa who is always the first person leading our Egg Harbor New Years Day Parade AND she was a Green Bay Packer Golden Girl!!!  Who says we are small town?
