Fish Creek Winter Festival: Events take place all over Fish Creek this weekend from human foosball to snow shoe dancing to minnow racing. How can you go wrong with all of that served up with brats, chilli, beer and music!

Also this weekend is the 6th Annual SOUP! Project sponsored by the Peninsula School of Art. The Peninsula Pulse has the “scoop on the soup” right here.

And don’t forget the High Point Inn has excellent winter rates this winter. Check them out before you head north. We’ll see you in the snow!

Registration for the Door County Half Marathon that is being held on Saturday, May 5th is still open. The High Point Inn has been a supporter of the half marathon since its beginnings. The event was the brainstorm from the folks at the Peninsula Pulse and through their leadership they have transformed it into THE springtime even on the Door peninsula.

A visit to the High Point Inn in Door County’s most picturesque village – Ephraim – gives you the chance to have whatever kind of vacation you would like. Dining out, dining in…maybe a little of each. And our fully stocked kitchens offers you the chance to dream up a delicious feast in the comfort of your own luxury suite. Need some ideas? We’ve got them for you.

As you head north to the High Point Inn on your Door County getaway, take Highway 42 north at Sturgeon Bay and pull into the Main Street Market when you get to Egg Harbor. Head on over to the meat department and ask for an Angus Beef Tenderloin. Tenderloin is easy to make and is a wonderful meal to enjoy with someone special. Add a bottle of red wine from Main Street’s huge selection and you will have an evening to remember.

If your preferences lay more in the area of vegetarian or seafood selections, we have another idea for you. Drive on up to Sister Bay and stop by Top Shelf Cafe and Gourmet. There you will find a large selection of frozen vegetarian appetizers, jumbo sea scallops, King crab, Scottish salmon and more. Toss in a fresh loaf of baked French bread and some gourmet olives. Need I say more?

Let the High Point Inn be your romantic getaway destination this winter. We’ll make your visit special and guarantee you’ll be back again!

Tickets are still available for Friday night’s fabulous Steve March Tormé show in Fish Creek at the Door Community Auditorium. Steve is the son of legendary entertainer Mel Tormé. And while there are similarities in style, Steve has a repertoire all his own. His smooth voice combined with an astonishing quartet will give you an evening to remember. Listen in to an interview with Steve and order your tickets here.

As I look outside and feel the end of fall settling in, my thoughts wander to the topic of holiday shopping in Door County. The Door peninsula is a wonderful place for a vacation, but it’s an even better place for a shopping vacation. The High Point Inn is a perfect location from which to embark upon a shopping excursion. Our Ephraim location in the heart of the county is close to the handmade pottery hotspot of Ellison Bay, as well as the gallery and fine shop destinations of Sister Bay, Egg Harbor and Fish Creek. May we suggest the following:
