Hoedown Days


What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear Houston? I think of Texas. However, did you know there is a Houston ,Minnesota? That's right. We traveled west to Minnesota to celebrate at the Hoedown Days and attended the Queen's Tea and waved to the people who lined the parade route at noon. During our long ride in the Cranberrymobile SUV, we had fun singing to Christmas music as we celebrated Christmas in July! This was one of the warmest parades to date and the sun was so bright it made our float sparkle like diamonds. After the parade, we walked the festival and talked with people who asked questions about Cranfest and Wisconsin cranberries. Later in the day, we were told we won the Royalty Award in the parade. Before the sun set, we found ourselves on the road again traveling back home to Wisconsin.
