"Get To Know Us"

Larry Kunzer

 AS the days & years go by we find that everyone has their time with us, some longer than others, and for various reasons we have to part.  We are pleased to introduce a relatively new staff member, Larry Kunzer.  Larry works in our maintenance department joining us in September 2011 and is very happy to be a part of the staff at Eagle Harbor Inn!  Before joining the staff at Eagle Harbor Inn, Larry worked for Fox River Valley Digital Printing for 12 years.

Larry lives with his fiance, Shirley in Ephraim.  When asked what he liked the most about working at Eagle Harbor Inn he stated, "I really enjoy keeping busy and the challenges I face daily.  I also like the beautiful work environment and most of all, the people."  Some of Larry's hobbies include:  swimming, sailing, skiing, biking, fishing, golfing, and taking classes at "The Clearing." He grew up in the Green Bay Area so he has a special place in his heart for the "Bay of Green Bay!"

Door County Half Marathon "Sprints" Into Action!

May 5, 2012 

With Spring just around the corner, runners & walkers are looking forward to a livelyhood that some consider to be one of the best "running events in the country." 

The first ever Door County Marathon began in May 2008.  David Eliot (also the founder of the Peninsula Pulse newspaper) and Lars Johnson (co-owner of Al Johnson's Swedish restaurant) came up with the idea for Door County to have its own marathon held every spring during the first Saturday of May.  Eliot and Johnson knew that the event would spark a lot of interest from residents and tourists alike, while at the same time promote local businesses.  The founders were right, as the first run brought 581 runners.  Last year, in 2011, the marathon maxed capacity of 2000 participants in the two events.  Since there is always such an overwhelming response from the event, it was decided that this year's run would take 1800 runners in the half marathon, and 500 runners in the 5K.

The event will take place at the same location as previous years, Peninsula State Park, on May 5, 2012 beginning at 10am.  The U.S. Track and Field certified course starts and finishes at Nicolet Beach.  Runners will experience a variety of scenic landscapes, as well as, breathtaking views of the water and hills.

If you're planning to use Eagle Harbor Inn, a proud sponsor of the Door County Marathon, as your

"personal race headquarters", the Door County Trolley

  will be providing transportation to and from the race for your convenience. We also put together a special package for those who want to stay more than just the day.  For more information on this package and rate details, please call us at 1-800-324-5427.  Make sure to mention you are participating in the marathon to get your "special package" rate!
