Hello from beautiful Door County!

The last four or five weeks have been very busy. The TORNADO TAVERN GALLERY has been on the road across Wisconsin. The gallery has only been open a few weekends and the “Big Red Thing” has had a much needed rest from greeting visitors to Door County.

We have a couple of offsite shows left and plan on having the gallery open for the weekends of 8/19 and 9/2. Then back on the road.

We will be at the Shawano Folk Music Festival this coming weekend, it would be great to have you visit us and enjoy the great music going none stop.

We’ll have the AC running! Walk your dog! Relax

Just go past the Brussels exit

Then take Hwy H / DK north OR

Look for the “BIG RED THING” just past Hwy H/DK and take the next left.

TORNADO TAVERN GALLERY, LLC

Hello from the Tornado Tavern Gallery, we have been, are and shall be open this season.

I have not posted because this is the year of the operation. I’m getting all the rips and tears fixed up, pulled together and shorn up. I have one more to go. I didn’t think that I would be so “out of commission” but there you are.

The gallery has a new “employee” and works as a greeter, its name is “big red thing” (stop it, I know what you’re thinking) and was born a twenty foot red “air-dancer” with yellow hair, through no fault of its own.

Our typical hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, unless we’re doing a show. Speaking of which, the Tornado Tavern Gallery will be at the Catfish River Music Festival at the Stoughton Opera House during the 4^th of July holiday.

Good news, the HWY 57/42 bridge is on schedule and should be open July 1^st. No more squeezing through Sturgeon Bay, like the old days. Looks like just one round-about, I think. Remember there is a speed limit for a round-about, be safe and be kind.

TORNADO TAVERN GALLERY WISHES ALL A GREAT NEW YEAR

The gallery is closed for the winter but will be doing off site shows and will open by appointment so keep in touch. I appreciate those who have viewed the Tornado Tavern Gallery blog and FaceBook sites; unfortunately I don’t know how to acknowledge them. I’ll try to find out so I can thank you right away.

We hope all had a wonderful holiday season, each in their own way. I’m writing this post while watching the first snow fall in Southern Door County. Personally I was happy with just the rain but the balance of nature needs some cold weather so I’ll enjoy as best I can.

This winter I plan on searching out interesting places and features in Southern Door County. Then I’ll write a post about it, with GPS, for the Tornado Tavern Gallery blog and FaceBook.

GREAT WEATHER IN SOUTHERN DOOR COUNTY

Well harvesting in Door County is nearly finished. The apples have finally been gathered and most of the corn is not only harvested but the fields have been disked too. Birding is in full swing either by camera or by shotgun. I walked through the great discgolf course at Sugar Creek Park and the rolling forest was beautiful.

 The holiday season is here and I’ve noticed an almost schizophrenic quality to the holiday decorations, left over cobwebs, pumpkins and straw stacks with sprinkles of red sleds and jingle bells. Arts and Craft shows displaying the same mix of holiday stuff. Here at Tornado Tavern Gallery we are dusting off the Christmas Coal and wire wrapping the smaller pieces. The larger chunks are for those who have been naughty and the wire wrapped ones are for those who you wish were naughty. The “lost marble” section has lots of unclaimed marbles that may end up with new owners.

Remember our store hours have been reduced to most Friday through Sunday; it’s always a good idea to call ahead. When possible we try to open for those who will be in the area during our closed hours. There might even be some coffee available, quality is not guaranteed but it’s free.
