The Starr family in Sturgeon Bay is keeping a relatively new Christmas tradition going despite having to make adjustments this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The past two years the Starrs have invited community members over for dinner on Christmas Eve. Like two years ago, the meals will be offered at the Knights of Columbus building but this time on a drive-thru basis only to safely provide for others. Carrie Starr says her family feels it is important to be there for the community and for those who may feel alone during Christmas.
About 75 people attended the dinner last year. This year’s community Christmas Eve dinner will be from noon until 2pm and any leftovers will be given to a homeless shelter.
