Dougherty honored

Lion Chuck Dougherty will be the 2025 Lumberjack Parade Grand Marshal on July 20.  Charles “Chuck” Dougherty is a prominent figure in Stillwater, known for his significant contributions to the local hospitality industry and community development. Alongside his wife, Judy, Chuck has been the owner and operator of the historic Water Street Inn since 1995. 

Chuck's commitment to preserving and celebrating Stillwater's heritage is evident in his efforts to restore and expand the Water Street Inn. The inn, originally constructed in 1890 as The Lumber Exchange Building, has been transformed into a premier destination that honors its historical roots while offering modern amenities.

Beyond his role at the inn, Chuck is actively involved in the community. He serves as the Board Chair of the Greater Stillwater Chamber of Commerce and is Mayor of the Oak Park Heights.  His dedication to local tourism is further demonstrated through his participation on the Stillwater/Oak Park Heights Convention & Visitors Bureau Board of Directors as well as the owner (along with wife Judy) of the Cover Park Manor Bed & Breakfast.

Chuck Dougherty's enduring impact on Stillwater is reflected in his dedication to preserving the city's history, enhancing its hospitality offerings, and actively participating in civic initiatives, making him a wonderful Grand Marshal for the 2025 Lumberjack Days parade.
