The week before aka June 18th has the Door County Beer Festival. What I know is there is going be 44 beer companies from the Midwest with able to sample over 120 craft beers. I'm staying away from that festival. I do not like beer. What I do know is that festival for food has cheese curds, Jerk chicken, and a restaurant that also is a catering company.
As far as the Jerk chicken, Door County has a Jamaican company that makes Jamaican food and sauces.

The entire meal is now set. The baby back ribs will also have watermelon, baked beans, sweet potato fries, and fluff. Dessert is going to be pie and brownies.

My condolences
regarding the ‘76 Mustang…American auto makers made some really bad crap from about the early ‘70’s to mid 80’s, and that one’s on the list. I wouldn’t even bother restoring the ‘76. Sell the engine block to somebody to use as a boat anchor, and junk the rest…!!!!! 
Now, on the other hand, if the second car you’re talkin’ about is an actual ‘67 Carroll Shelby GT350H (Hertz)…WOW…!!!!!
Only about 1,000 of those editions were manufactured. Depending on the condition, y’all should be able to get a substantial amount of money for it, even without any restoration.
If it’s rough, a full restoration would take some serious time and money, but, the ROI should be worth it in the long run, for sure.
And again, even in rough condition, it’s a very rare car, so it could still fetch some serious cash from the plethora of rich car collectors out there these days.
I’ve watched some televised auto auctions in recent years, and the prices they go for are insane.
The first pic below is of the ‘76, and the second pic is of the ‘67 GT350H…to me anyway, the ‘76 is WTH…?!?!?! and the ‘67 is a sheer work of art…there is NO comparison…!!!

Not wanting to brag but so far, I have survived not one, but two Tornado watches in the same number of weeks. One of them accompanied by a power outage so I couldn't follow it on TV. But I'm sure it must have come close (just a feeling).
I can’t even count the number of tornado watches/ warnings we’ve survived since we moved back to Texas from No Cal in ‘76. But, at least you, generally, get some kinda’ warning, unlike with an earthquake…!!!!!

Yep, never had any issues with motion sickness on either of our 3 cruises, but, same as yourself, I also don’t tend towards it.
We ran into some pretty rough/high seas on our first full sea day/night on our first cruise back in Dec. of ‘17, and Sarah (youngest DD) got a little woozy at dinner for a bit, but, that was about it for us for all 3 cruises.
Below is a video of the ocean from that first cruise sea day…!!!

Regarding NOLA, we stayed at The Whitney for Sarah’s (youngest DD) 21st birthday trip in Sept. of ‘15. It’s a former bank building built in 1910, converted into a hotel, and located a few blocks across the west side of Canal Street.
It was pretty cool…!!!
For some reason, their site is having issues, but, I have some pics of the hotel from that trip…

If it had those original Chevy rally wheels on it, like in the video, those things alone are worth some serious money to collectors, these days.

Yes, I saw that as well. I hope it isn’t permanently closed, as it was a really cool hotel.
Tornadoes going through one is terrible that's why I hated riding Twister attraction at Universal in Orlando back in the day.I can’t even count the number of tornado watches/ warnings we’ve survived since we moved back to Texas from No Cal in ‘76.
