The Dole: Reflections & Aspirations!

The Dole Reflects on 2021, Gears Up for Great 2022 – Thanks to YOU!

2021 was a big year for The Dole! The past year brought many new opportunities and positive improvements, it brought connection with each other and the opportunity to reflect on what is important. In 2021, we have enjoyed time with our neighbors and community members. We saw the return of the beloved Lakeside Festival, spent Sundays at the Farmers Market+ and enjoyed live entertainment at Music Under the Trees.

We have a vibrant collective group of resident partners who call The Dole home for their creative businesses.

The mediums include visual artists, photographers, performing artists, healing and beauty artists, filmmakers, writers, graphic designers, web designers, and musicians. We appreciate their partnership and are glad they fill our halls with art, music, wellness, and creativity.

There are no words to express our gratitude to this community! In 2021 people came together from near and far to support The Dole and all that it represents. We cannot wait to see what lies ahead in 2022, we hope to provide more opportunities to make memories and continue to preserve this beautiful building and grounds!

As we reflect on where we have been and look ahead to what we can accomplish, we share with you, our gratitude.

Cheers to a fantastic 2021 and a bright 2022! 2022 marks two important milestones fo The Dole, our charitable foundation turns 20 and the purchase of the property by Eliza Ringling establishing the Crystal Lake Country Club celebrates 100. We're excited to story-tell, host great events and gather as community. Stay-tuned for more details about art shows, music events, how to get involved as a volunteer, and more.
