Eli Mattson

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Nellie and our friend Bryan went to see Eli last night at Southern Door High School.  He was doing the last of three concerts to benefit the school’s music program and also the Wellness Center in Sturgeon Bay where his mom works.  Someone said Sony signed him but that could be a Door County rumor.

 It’s pretty cool this guy is doing benefit concerts his first week home.  By the way, all three concerts sold out in a short amount of time.  Nellie said he was excellent and played tons of great songs. 

Happy Halloween!

Abandoned home on Fairview Road

Tonight we have our Ultimate Pumpkin Carving night.  I don’t think I will be doing any of the political faces for our pumpkins, no just the regular old scary Halloween type.  I passed this abandoned house yesterday near Kangaroo Lake.  It always amazes me how houses get abandoned in the first place.  At one time this must have been a grand farmhouse… it still has some of it’s gingerbread on the front door.  Anyway it reminded me of Halloween although it looks more sad than scary.  We are still open this weekend so my trick-or-treaters will have to come to Egg Harbor Lodge if they want any candy.  I give out the good stuff so I am sure I will be seeing the regulars. Check back tomorrow and see the results of our contest.
