Although the voting at the polls is over this year, you can vote for this month's best-decorated building in the Heritage Village located next to Crossroads at Big Creek. The Door County Historical Society (DCHS) Is sponsoring "A Glimpse of Christmas Past," where various non-profit organizations compete in a decorating contest of the six historic buildings in the Heritage Village. Executive Director Amy Frank says the public can tour the facilities and vote with donations for their favorite.
Every Friday and Saturday in December, the Heritage Village will be open and free to tour the buildings from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. A Glimpse of Christmas Past is free to attend, with the non-profit building that raises the most money earning this year's bragging rights, while the collaborating nonprofits will share all proceeds.
The list of nonprofits and the buildings they are decorating at Heritage Village are listed below.
- Sunshine Resources will adorn the Heritage Chapel, reflecting their commitment to helping individuals with special needs achieve their dreams and goals.
- Door-Tran will decorate the Vignes Schoolhouse, showcasing their dedication to making transportation accessible and affordable for all.
- Friends of Potawatomi State Park will create a rustic winter theme in the Kohl Fishhouse, celebrating the natural beauty of Door County.
- Midsummer’s Music will bring a touch of elegance to the Warren House, representing their mission to inspire and educate through world-class chamber music.
