Over Memorial Day weekend this year, I had the pleasure of attending a very special dedication ceremony for the Ephraim Preserve at Anderson Pond. (You can read more about this new preserve inside this issue.) So many of us have family roots and traditions in Door County, tracing back through generations, whether with a family home or farm or even just a summer trip to the same resort year after year. I take a sense of delight in knowing that my mom spent many childhood summer vacations with her parents and sister renting the cabin that now houses Brian Fitzgerald’s Ephraim Clayworks in the Shorewood Village Shops.
