Tall ships only 1 year away

Hard to believe, but in just one year, we'll be gracing the shores of the Fox River in downtown Green Bay for the Baylake Bank Tall Ship Festival. Two ships have already announced they're coming - Unicorn and Denis Sullivan. The latter is Wisconsin's flagship and hails from Milwaukee. The ships were last here in 2006 for a very successful festival. A few of the days were extremely hot and I sweat my butt off. But, we survived and a good time was had by all. The festival is being produced by PMI Entertainment Group - the same "crew" that runs the Resch Center and now Tom, Dick & Harry's. That venue opened today (Aug. 13). I had a chance to have lunch there on Tuesday during the soft opening and the food was great. Several concerts have already been announced for The Club. Seeing all of the old Kaap's furniture and fixtures placed around restaurant is pretty cool. Brings back memories and yes, unfortunately, I'm old enough to remember the old Kaap's. Ahhh.
