On a sunny, cool Saturday morning along the west side waterfront in Sturgeon Bay, dozens of community members came together to celebrate the grand opening of the new promenade.  Mayor David Ward spoke with Councilmembers Gary Nault and Dan Williams on how the near ten-year project became a reality through persistence and grant money obtained by the city.

The waterfront walkway spans from the new Door County Maritime Museum by the Michigan Street Bridge to the historic Teweles and Brandeis Granary, which is being renovated, near the Oregon Street Bridge.  The Door County Maritime Museum will be hosting a grand opening for the Jim Kress Maritime Lighthouse Tower on Sunday at 11 am.  The celebration is on National Maritime Day and will feature a short program with a Maritime Honors salute at noon.
