Egg Harbor Lodge News

We went to see the Siegel Schwall Band at the Peg Egan Amphitheater last night… what a show that was.  Excellent Blues… perfect weather and a sunset to boot.  I bet there were over 600 people there.  I wish my parents were here to enjoy the new venue… they would have loved it.  The pavilion is just such a nice asset to our little village.  Next Sunday is the last scheduled concert of the season… summer is winding down. 

Starting September 1, we have a new special at Egg Harbor Lodge.  For every night you stay, you get a $10 gas card…yes, we are going to help you navigate the county by helping to pay for your gasoline.  Make sure to mention the special when you book your reservation.  September is a perfect time for a trip to Door County… the kids are back in school and the weather is just beautiful.  Take a drive up for a visit and the gas is on us!  See you soon…

It has been just crazy the last few weeks.  The weather has been beautiful and Egg Harbor Lodge has been really busy.  I am not able to upload any photos for my blog… some kind of glitch.  I will stop at 3w Design next week to see my pals Barbara and Gregg Luhring.  They are my go-to people for my website and so much more… plus they are fun to hang out with.  Blogging just isn’t as fun without photos. 

Egg Harbor Lodge sponsors Egg Harbor’s concert in the park tonight…. and the Bittorf Bros., Egg Harbor’s own iconic country band does the honors.  We’ll head down there tonight to listen and hopefully dance a bit.  I hope somebody is in the mood to polka! We’ll take blankets, snacks and drinks and enjoy the music and sunset… Life is good!

The Door County Triathlon was held July 20. Approximately 1100 people participated in the event including our daughters Nellie and Emilie and yes, me. The event is run amazingly well. I had a lot of athletes stay at the lodge over the weekend and they all agreed it was one of the most well-planned events they had done. The swim was really difficult for just about everybody. In my wave, I bet 3 or 4 people were pulled out… which made me feel panicky as they were splashing and flailing all over the joint. We looked like tons of salmon swimming upstream. It was just nuts. I didn’t train nearly as much as I should have and I too had a hard time.. My time was poor, but I finished and it felt really good. Even though there was delicious food there (pulled pork sandwiches and corn on the cob), I decided to wait and grab some Mexican food at Mojo’s when we were done. This year, the shirt we got were pretty cool and you could actually wear them to work-out. Other years, they gave those heavy cotton T-shirts. Ick. Next year, I am getting a decent bike and practicing my swimming in the open water a lot more.

Have the “Girls Gone Wild” at Egg Harbor Lodge?  We plead the 4th!

While we didn’t get first place, we had a blast… Note to parents of young children- Do not encourage your little ankle-biters to throw water balloons at the floats.  Yes, even though we are in a hot tub, we do not want little Jimmy blasting us in the head with balloons!

Around our house, July 4th is the biggest holiday next to Christmas… The parade, the fireworks, music….Egg Harbor is the place to be.  We are getting our float supplies ready.  EH fireworks are around 10:00 on the Thursday, the 3rd.  Food, beverages and music will be in the Harbor View Park beginning at 3:00.  After the fireworks, we plan on checking out Mojo Rosa’s.  Big Mouth and the Power Tool Horns will be playing at Mojo’s new outdoor beer garden.  Big Mouth is a huge favorite in DC. On Friday, Egg Harbor’s parade begins at 1:00 on Church street on the north end of Egg Harbor and ends at Chief Oshkosh. Come check out our float and enjoy the day hangin’ in the Harbor…
