Eli Mattson recently had two concerts at TAP, Third Avenue Playhouse, in Sturgeon Bay.
Third Avenue Playhouse began as a dream-a dream of providing a high quality, year-round community performing arts center in Door County. Conceived in 1999 by a group of ten local visionaires, the theater first opened its doors in Fall 2000 as a fledgling communtiy theater supported by a small group of enthusiastic volunteers.
In only a little more than five years, the dream became a reality providing a warm, welcoming environment in which family and friends can enjoy quality entertainment at an affordable price. In addition to musical and theatrical performances, Third Avenue
Playhouse also offers classes and workshops throughout the year and is also available as a venue for civic and community organizations.
Eli Mattson was the runner up on the third season of America’s Got Talent. Eli’s music is similar to Elton John and Billy Joel. Before Eli’s debut on America’s Got Talent, he played at concerts at TAP. His first concert this past Friday was sold out so he added another. Three of us from Westwood Shores Waterfront Resort were lucky enough to get tickets for his first show at TAP. This is the third time that I have personnally been to Eli’s concerts. This time we had front row center seats! His concerts get better and better each time I see him. Everyone enjoyed the show and after the show he does a “meet and greet” where you can have your picture taken with Eli and get an autograph.
Eli was heading to Nashville the day after the concerts to start recording an album. We wish Eli the best of luck in his future and can’t wait until he comes back to Door County for another concert.

One of our favorite Orchards to go to is Wood Orchard in Egg Harbor. Not only do 
they sell much of what they grow, they have a unique selection of gift items, a large variety of delicious specialty foods, and products from their in-house bakery.
For many years, McIntosh and Cortland apples were the main varieties in their business. Now, Honeycrisp is the apple that is attracting most of the attention of their fruit growing family as well as their customers!
Much of their future planning is centering around another new apple variety. That variety is SweeTango. As the name suggests, it offers a flavor of a sweet and tart sensation at the same time. SweeTango is a cross of Honeycrisp and Zestar. This apple is ready in early September. In case you are not sure if this is the apple for you, they have samples available so that you can try it before you buy it.
The market is open May thru October. Stop by and see what they have to offer. This will become a favorite of yours too!

Recently my son decided for his birthday, he wanted to go to Hands on Art 
Studio in Fish Creek. So we headed there and we had so much fun. We had been there about five years ago and forgot how much fun it was.
Stepping through the door you’ll hear music, laughter and activity coming from the light-filled upstairs space. A friendly Art Helper will greet you and explain the array projects available. Take your time choosing – relax, wander, and see what others are making – there are endless possibilities here!
Still not sure what to make? Check out their display of finished projects, page through their great art books, or use the internet for inspiration. Their Art Helpers will answer questions and guide you through the process of creating your masterpiece.
Hands On encourages the free-wheeling experiences involved in making art – the drips and splotches of paint on the tables and floor tell a big part of the story.
When your project is finished, depending on the project, you keep it there so they can fire it in a kiln and then pick it up the next day.
It’s a great souvenir to take home with you.
