We manned the food tent at Ale Fest (Egg Harbor) in September. Net proceeds were sent to the PAC fund.

DKBEP, now known as Door County Business Education Partnership (DCBEP) will not be having a student-built house for the 2016-2017 school year. However, it is hoped that a house can be built during the 2017-2018 school year.
