Spent yesterday at the 69th Annual Fall Festival in Sister Bay yesterday with husband and daughter Nan. A bit of a drive for us-but by boat would have taken only 20-minutes from our house across the bay to Door County! Beautiful countryside-the fall colors were gorgeous-reminds me of my home state of Maine in the autumn. The weather was crisp-but the vendors were plentiful, varied and wonderful. I was able to talk to some weavers about rag rugs-they own over 13 looms!
We took advantage of a wonderful local store and purchased some beautiful Honey Crisp apples-Door county is well known for their apples and cherry products....
We had lunch at the famous Al Johnson Restaurant-where goats actually traipse around atop the roof of the restaurant. All the staff are dressed in Swedish period clothing and we enjoyed Swedish Pancakes with lingonberry jam....What fun!
Sounded like the perfect way to spend a coo, crisp, autumn day! So glad you have such a wonderful experience. I love lingonberries too.

I had the pleasure of visiting Door 'County a few years ago when the cherry trees were in bloom. What a beautiful place it is on the big Lake Michigan! I bet their annual festival was not only beautiful but packed full of fun. I did not know that Honey Crisp apples were one of their specialties! They are the best apples !
