• The Door County community Facebook page recently topped 10,000 fans. The Door County Social team of Perry Andropolis, Tracy Andropolis, and Morgan Mann has created a community where fans can keep in touch with Door County.

The original Door County Facebook page started in 2008 and has seen a consistent growth of fans. The page has far outstripped the 4 percent average fan engagement for large brand pages according to a Visibiliti study that analyzed more than 200 million Facebook fans to determine their engagement habits.

Door County Social is putting Social Media packages together to help business and organizations tap into and engage the Door County fan base through a variety of digital platforms.

“The fans of the Door County Facebook page have already qualified themselves as loving Door County or at least are interested in learning more,” said Tracy Andropolis. “We have various means to tap into that base and their networks.”

• Spa Verde Salon, the first all-green spa in Door County, is now open daily from 9 am – 6 pm. Located in the purple building in downtown Egg Harbor, Spa Verde offers massage and bodywork services. All of the massage oils and creams that Spa Verde therapists employ consist of organic and natural oils, some locally produced.

Spa Verde also provides chemical-free skin care, a hair salon and nail services, including haircuts, styling and coloring using natural henna and other plant-based hair coloring systems. Spa Verde’s complete commitment to green services and sustainability began before the doors opened, in the original site construction phase, when as much of the construction material as possible was derived from reused or recycled sources.
