You can support the special needs community of Door County on September 13th at one of the biggest events Sunshine Resources of Door County puts on every year. Sunflower Fest was created after the organization moved its popular Corn Fest to Martin Park on Sturgeon Bay’s east side. While the event's name and location have changed, supporting quality opportunities for area individuals with disabilities and disadvantages remains the event's focus. Sunshine Resources’ Barry Metzentine and Jeremy Paszczak say the event goes a long way to accomplishing that mission.

From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Martin Park, Sunflower Fest attendees can listen to music from Big Mouth and Tool Horns, play in a cornhole tournament, participate in raffles and a cherry pie eating contest, say hi to the Door County Ghostbusters, and more. Those who want to be active before the event can also participate in the Walk to End Alzheimer’s, which opens at 8:30 a.m., before the step-off occurs at 10 a.m.
