I lived in Green Bay and loved it. Do you remember the radio comercials advertising Door County in September that stressed, 'Now that the tourist season is over'... Classic FIB slam!

LOL! I DO remember the commercials & loved them. We still love going up to DC after Labor Day--and when we kept our little sailboat in Little Sturgeon, we looked forward to sailing at that time of year. It was gorgeous--and not overrun with idiots.

When my daughter was in college, she spent a summer as an intern at Peninsula Players. Besides all the theater tech work, they also had to park cars. Her triumph was parking six silver Audi Foxes (with Illinois plates) next to each other--and after the play, conveniently disappearing. She said (while she & a couple others hid in the bushes) that there was a lot of swearin' going on.

Oh, then there was the time we had sailed to Fish Creek over Labor Day and we went into the now defunct Kalwe's market to buy a Sunday paper. There was a long line. The hotshot in front of us (you KNOW where he was from) sneered and told the clerk, "I suppose the NATIVES are too busy hunting and fishing to get a job." My hubby literally had to hold me back while he hissed, "if you punch him, you'll end up in jail."

BTW, did you know that Barbara and Ted Olson spent their last summer in Door County at their cottage on Kangaroo Lake (I think it's Kangaroo Lake)? Ted's related to the Weborgs, the family that "owns" most of Gills Rock, an old fishing family.

A dear friend of mine lived in De Pere, worked for C. Reiss for many years. He owned a 28 foot Carver Santa Cruise at Kewaunee. This boat was a fish magnet...many's the day we would bring in four or five nice trout and at least one king salmon.
Cleaned and charcoal grilled right at the dock and chased down with a couple Leiney's. As close to Heaven as you can get on this earth.
