Harvest Festival & Auction, Sturgeon Bay

The 17th annual Harvest Festival flooded the streets of downtown Sturgeon Bay with cars and people on Saturday, Sept. 16, 2017. Nearly 300 vehicles — an Old Bolts Car Club record — were on the display. Along with food, music and arts & crafts, a community chalk event was held this year. The festival concluded with its popular "Benches By the Bay'' Street Art Auction of artist-decorated benches in the evening at Martin Park. Prior to the auction, Milwaukee Bucks' 2017 "Own the Future'' Statewide Tour featuring first-round draft choice D.J. Wilson was on hand. Performances were also given by the Rim Rockers basketball dunk team and the Milwaukee Bucks Dancers. Some of the photos appeared in the Sept. 20 edition of Your Key to the Door Weekly inside the Door County Advocate. Tina M. Gohr/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin
