Tannenbaum's August Newsletter

August is time for students to return to school and this means that fall is right around the corner. We know many parents are thinking about buying school supplies and getting ready for the school year ahead; however, this is also a great time to get one more trip in to Door County. The weather is still ideal for spending time exploring Door County without needing coats or heavy layers.

We have gotten in our favorite wooden advent calendars. With classic scenes like Santa flying through the night sky, nativity (there is a musical and non-musical version), and a happy snowman family. These calendars are a fun keepsake to count down the month of December. These calendars make great gifts for children and can be filled with candy, small toys, and little trinkets. These calendars make great gifts for adults too. This past year, our family and friends filled the calendar with memories for our parents. Every night, they opened a door to reveal a different family memory to read.

Many glockenspiels in Germany date back a century or more and have become huge attractions for visitors. People gather to watch the characters rotate at scheduled times, often with clarion bells accompanying the show. True to traditional glockenspiels in Bavaria, the rotating figures on this building depict medieval characters. The
Rhineland Glockenspiel
has artistic decal art representing old world fresco paintings and the beautiful clock is set to the Department 56 iconic 5 to 6. This glockenspiel is complete with animated figures that rotate on the clock tower. This limited-edition piece is hand-numbered. To coordinate with this beautiful glockenspiel is the
Burgermeister
which is German for Mayor. This city leader can set his watch to the trusty Glockenspiel, the beautiful highlight of his hometown.
