2009 Parade Winners

2009 July 4th Entertainment Announced!

Baileys Harbor is celebrating its 160th anniversary in style for 2009.  Starting at 9 a. m. on July 4th enjoy the sights and sound of “3 Beer ’til Dubuque.”   Three Beers, also known as, “That Beers Band,” started in 1997 with 12 members primarily playing one bar in La Crosse. Today, TBTD has scaled down quite a bit and played a plethora of bars and larger venues. Some of those events include: Oktoberfest and Riverfest, which are La Crosse’s largest festivals, Summerfest in Milwaukee, WI, Oktoberfest in Appleton, WI, and On the Waterfont in Rockford, IL. TBTD has played countless bar gigs and is currently the top musical attraction in the La Crosse area, appealing to the youngest of bar hoppers, to the seasoned jazz veteran and everyone in between.  You definitely want to get a front row seat for this band!

Starting at 1:30 p. m. get your 80’s “rock on.”  “Bad Medicine,” a definite 80’s cover band, is the number 1 Bon Jovi tribute band in the country.  Bad Medicine comes out of the ashes of former group Dandelion Wine.  It was here where singer and leader Greg Jach noticed that a popular segment of the set was a string of Bon Jovi songs.  Seeing a increasing demand and hunger for all things Jovi, and many comments on how Gregs’ style and voice complimented the material, it was decided to go full blown Bon Jovi Tribute! The group still preforms many other hits outside of the tribute set as well. The other songs range from 80’s hair bands to alternative hits to songs that get the dance floor occupied.   A diverse catalog is in place to make sure no matter what your taste in music, Bad Medicine can deliver for you.  They have been playing steadily for the past 5 years playing everywhere from your corner bar to major festivals like Summerfest.   You would definitely think you are at a Bon Jovi concert!  Get your cameras out and rock on!

The entertainment doesn’t end! At 5:30 p.m., enjoy one of the best upcoming D.J.’s in Fox Valley!  Dance and enjoy the sounds as you scope out the best spot to see the fireworks!  This is a 4th of July to remember.

Craft Fair Form

Be in our 4th of July Parade.

This is one of several events sponsored by the Baileys Harbor Community Association to highlight Baileys Harbor and the Door County Peninsula while raising money to support a number of worthwhile charities and groups. The Annual Baileys Harbor Brown Trout Tournament gives testimony to the fact that this is a popular recreational pastime for the whole family. The waters surrounding Door County will be the area where tournament entrants will be testing their skills and luck!

A $25 entry fee entitles participants an opportunity to win generous cash prizes for the top 60 heaviest fish with a grand prize valued at over $1500 to be awarded to the angler with the biggest fish.

Tournament contestants will find that you do not need to own a large boat to fish the many protected harbors and inlets where the big ones lurk. Prize winning fish have been reeled in while fishing dockside.

Many public and private boat launches are available throughout Door County. A launch facility is located only one block away from the contest weigh-in station. Many local businesses are open to serve your needs, providing you with lodging, down home or gourmet cuisine and beverages to quench your thirst. Ticket proceeds go towards prizes and promotion cost.

Our town marina complex is open for the Brown Trout Tournament.
