Coming up in the Shepherd Express Travel section

DO THE DOOR – NOW…

Who’d have guessed that despite Door County consistently getting rated as one of the top Midwest travel destinations, many Wisconsinites may have only been there once or twice and some have not been there at all!  Rather than poke around the “whys?” (no doubt some grad student will one day earn a PhD with that topic!) the Shepherd Express will dish up 10, 12 maybe even 25 good reasons to stop wondering, avoid wandering out of state and Do the Door Now! Sure, we'll hit most of the likely suspects like Cana Island Light, Cave Point, Sturgeon Bay Shipyards, Washington Island and fish boils – but we'll try to uncover a few lesser known reasons like the Door County Maritime Museum, Rock Island and (yes!) edible lawyers. If you're a Door County regular, it will be a fun review session. If you've never been there better be sure your car is gassed up before you start reading -  you won't want to waste time stopping on the way! 

Let me tell you a little about the Shepherd Express. We are the third largest newspaper in the state with 261,400 readers. Our readers are very active and look to us for their Arts & Entertainment. that is why we added a weekly travel section two months ago. We will also do three or four cover/feature articles on Getaway weekends (the next one is 8/10-"Autumn Getaways").

The best part is that we work with the Dept of Tourism and are able to offer you deep discounts through their co-op program. If you are new to the program contact me early, so we can get you set up. The Door Co article will be published on 7/27. If you are interested in advertising let me know by the end of June, early July. The sooner, the better.
