Special of the day is a birthday surprise

September 13, 2023

It wasn’t a surprise for Tessa Egerer to celebrate her 21st birthday in Nashville last month. She and her family had booked the trip a year in advance.

The shock came in the number of coworkers from Plier’s Full Circle restaurant in Port Washington that joined her.

Tessa figured out something was up a few days before the trip when she was emailed a waiver to ride the Nashville Tractor, similar to Milwaukee’s Pedal Tavern only on a wagon being pulled by a tractor. She saw colleagues’ names on the list.

Taking time to smell the flowers

September 13, 2023

The weather was ideal Saturday as people gathered to enjoy the flowers and foliage in six Port Washington gardens that were part of the Port Garden Walk. About 250 people toured the gardens, which included a variety of plantings and hardscapes. Judi Deutsch (left photo) stood in front of a raised bed filled with dahlias, a flower she calls her obsession. Deutsch and her husband Steve spent 10 years designing and planting their gardens.
