[/font][font="arial, helvetica"][font="Times New Roman, serif"]WestFest shooting for Oct. 25 in Sturgeon Bay[/font]
[font="Times New Roman, serif"]
By Joe Knaapen [/font] [/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]Find a cowboy hat and boots, strap on a shootin' iron and head to the West Side of Sturgeon Bay Saturday, Oct. 25, for the first ever WestFest.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]The "wild west" motif simply inspired merchants who do business on the "west" portion of the city, said Kay Seitz, owner of Northern Territory, 20 S. Madison Ave.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]The western theme took off as merchants began planning an event to showcase their wares, Seitz said.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]In past years, the West Side used to put on an evening sale billed as Moonlight Madness, Seitz said. The event fell by the wayside and now merchants want to establish an event, she said.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]West Side business owners are working with co-sponsor Sturgeon Bay Visitor Bureau to make the event a success. Therma-Tron-X is sponsoring music.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]WestFest will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Madison Avenue. The avenue will be closed to vehicle traffic between Oak and Maple streets with plenty of music, activities and food to go around.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]Seitz is sponsoring an 11 a.m. appearance by powwow dancers from the Stockbridge-Mohican tribe, of which her father is a member.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]Also featured will be an Old West Story Teller, Robert James Smith. The 89-year-old Milwaukee man, a member of an international clown group, met Seitz while visiting her store.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]After he entertained her with a tune on the smallest harmonica in the world, Smith agreed to consider coming back for an event, Seitz said.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]A "High Noon Shoot-out" will come at high noon under the direction of Ben Larsen.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]Prizes will be awarded for cowboy costumes in a contest that will be judged at 12:45 p.m.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]Visitors are invited to participate in a chili cook off from noon to 1:30 p.m. or to enjoy food at Kim's Galley.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]Food will be available from vendors after 10 a.m.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]Music will be provided from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. by the John Welch Band and from 1 to 3 p.m. by the Bittorf Brothers.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]The Kid's Korral will feature activities for children. Carriage rides will be available from 1 to 3 p.m. and a donkey cart will be available for rides.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica"]Classic cars will be on display in the parking lot of the Door County Maritime Museum.[/font]
