Grand Gathering

The Door County Land Trust will hold its 16th Annual Gathering on Aug. 24, 3:30 – 6:30 pm, at the Grand View Scenic Overlook and Park in Ellison Bay. Land Trust members, friends and the community are invited to attend and enjoy lively music, great food, beautiful art, and a celebration of recent land protection successes.

“This is an event the Land Trust community looks forward to every year,” states Dan Burke, executive director of the Door County Land Trust.

After the meal, Burke will deliver a “State of the Land Trust” address. “The Annual Gathering is truly about highlighting the successes of the past year. We’ve accomplished so much, there are many reasons to celebrate.”

Festivities begin at 3:30 pm with kite flying, lawn games, beverages and bluegrass music by Highland Road. Hors d’oeuvres will be provided by Alexander’s of Fish Creek, followed by homemade desserts by Land Trust supporters. Guests will be able to participate in the popular Art Walk bucket raffle that includes donated works by prominent local artists. Plein air artists Liz Maltman, Mac Schueppert, and Rob Williams will paint during the event, with all sale proceeds from the artworks supporting land preservation.

The cost is $30 for adults, $12 for children ages 5 – 12, and free for children under 5. Registration is required and space is limited. Registration may be completed online at DoorCountyLandTrust.org. For more information visit doorcountylandtrust.org or call 920.746.1359.
