Sturgeon Bay's newest activity and event center celebrated its formal opening Wednesday morning in front of dozens of residents and dignitaries.  The Door County Boardwalk comprises three businesses: Door County Gala, Door County Sandbox, and Virlee Gunworks Shooting Center, just off Egg Harbor Road and North 12th Avenue.  Owner Steve Estes says the goal was to make the three businesses the ultimate entertainment destination for locals and visitors.  

The Sandbox started operating last Thursday with a soft opening.  The new venues provide six lanes of virtual axe throwing, several golf simulators, a bar and restaurant, and a banquet facility for weddings and events.     The project broke ground in August with plans to employ 45 to 50 people during the busy tourism season.
