Warm Waffles in Winter

Staff and volunteers of The Ridges Sanctuary invite everyone for the second annual “Great Waffle Breakfast” on Saturday, February 6 from 9 am – 11 pm at the Baileys Harbor Town Hall. Free-will donation container provided.

Not only will the event be an opportunity to beat the winter blahs with crisp, hot waffles, dripping with real Door County maple syrup, warm homemade cherry sauce topped with real dairy whipped cream, but the “Great Waffle Breakfast” will help celebrate the 119th anniversary of Emma Toft’s birthday. Toft was one of the most vocal and persistent visionaries that saw value in the Baileys Harbor “bog” and helped shape The Ridges Sanctuary.

When guests have eaten their fill, they are invited to sit and visit with neighbors or refresh their skills at building Legos®, playing Scrabble® (all words must be nature oriented), or participate in a nature activity. All those who attend will receive a free Ridges’ Trail Pass to enjoy the winter wonders of The Ridges Sanctuary.

The Ridges Sanctuary, a non-profit nature preserve, is located just north of Baileys Harbor on County Highway Q. Trails are open to the public year round for a small fee (members may hike at no charge). Naturalist-led snowshoe hikes in the Sanctuary are scheduled on Fridays at 1 pm through February.
