http://www.DoorCountyToday.com Door County Activities: The "Granddaddy" of all Door County festivals, 2012 marked the 67th annual Fall Fest in Sister Bay. What began as a celebration and reward for the Door County tourism workers after a busy summer season has evolved into one of the largest weekend activity celebrations on the peninsula. A parade, arts & crafts fair, food booths, live entertainment, and children's activities make this a "must-do" Door County activity, but the real fun lies in one of the Fest's oldest traditions -- the famed Ping-Pong Ball Shoot. An astonishing 10,000 Ping-Pong balls are released on Sunday afternoon, with a one in ten chance of winning a prize from a participating Sister Bay business.
