Door County Talks Series The 2026 Door County Talks Series, sponsored by Cynthia and Tom LaConte, will explore the concept of “blue zones.” “Blue zones” (a term coined and trademarked by author Dan Buettner) are regions in the world where people live to or beyond the age of 100 with few of the degenerative aging diseases prevalent in many parts of the world.
The series, which will be comprised of four separate speaker events, is free, with donations gladly accepted. Attendees are encouraged but not required to watch the Netflix series Live to 100: Secrets of the Blue Zones prior to attending. The Blue Zone tenets will be explored by five different speakers, over four dates: Nutrition/Healthy Eating with Jennifer Sherman on January 10, Social Connection with Paul Salm on January 24, Sense of Purpose with Michael Brecke on January 31, and Fitness and Wellness with Dr. Rory & Tess Johnson on February 7. All Door County Talks begin at 10:00 a.m. Lectures are free to the public; freewill donations are encouraged. Coffee and bakery will be available for purchase. Each talk will include a short break, a post-talk question-and-answer session with the speaker, and a chance to meet and reconnect with the year-round Door County friends and neighbors.
Door Community Auditorium is located at 3926 Highway 42 in Fish Creek. For more information or to reserve tickets, call (920) 868-2728 or visit www.dcauditorium.org. Gift certificates are available for holiday gift giving.
