Here and there

One of the largest events on the Door Peninsula is the Door County Memorial Hospital Auxiliary’s House and Garden Walk. This year it’s set for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, July 29, and there are some wonderful homes featured. Included is the Fish Creek home and gallery of painter Kathy Glasnap. I recently got a personal tour of the home for a decorating story. It’s a sprawling one-story home, and the gallery also will be open on the House Walk (which includes six properties this year). Kathy has a wonderful personal art collection and a creative way of putting accessories together. For more information on the House Walk, call 920/746-1071. The donation is $25.
Liberty Square is a mall with a new name and face, 7755 Hwy. 42, Egg Harbor. Shops have gourmet food, women’s clothing, jewelry and home décor such as six lines of outdoor furniture.
Also find the Bistro Restaurant and the Board Room. The latter is decorated with a baby grand piano, tasteful furniture and pleasant lighting. People who don’t like to shop can come here and just enjoy live piano music on late afternoons. This year, a new Bravissima--a four-course Italian dinner followed by a vocalist singing Italian songs--is being planned in the Board Room. Dates are July 6, 13, 17, 24, 31 and Aug. 3 and 14. But call for availability, reservations or more information, 920/868-4800. Until next time, see you here and there on the Door Peninsula, Donna Marie Pocius, freelance writer
