On June 16, we attended the 2012 Miss Wisconsin Pageant, in Oshkosh, WI. There were 23 contestants from all over the state and the lucky winner was Kate Gorman, she was the recent Miss La Crosse Oktoberfest. We had a great time at the event and even got our picture taken with Stephanie Klett, WI Secretary of Tourism and Laura Kaeppeler, Miss America!!!
On June 17, we rode in the Winona Steamboat Days Parade and also attended their royalty tea and met their newly crowned royalty. We had a great time and enjoyed the bright sunshine that blessed us on the parade route.
On June 24, we attended the Wisconsin Rapids Cranberry Blossom Days Parade. It was a warm day and we had a good time waving to all the visitors. We even celebrated our Queen's Birthday with a delicious cake.
On June 30, we had an extra busy day! First we attended the Jesse Parker Memorial Run at the Tomah High School. We enjoyed a yummy pancake breakfast and served cranberry juice to all the runners/participants. It was a great event and so nice to see the community all together to remember Jesse. After the run we traveled to Wetherby Cranberry Marsh for their annual Blossom Days celebration. We did food demos of recipes that contained our state fruit, the cranberry! After learning about the blossoms we went to the WI Cranberry Discovery Center where we made crafts with all the children. We also enjoyed a cranberry brat and had ice cream too! Our last stop of the day was visiting the artisans at the Wetherby Stone Building.
On July 4, we participated in the Tomah 4th of July Parade. We decorated the float with flags and lots of decorations. It was a hot day but we enjoyed ourselves and stayed cool atop the float.
On July 8, we rode in the Wa DA Shuda Days Parade. They had a Hawaiian theme this year and we wore leis and had pink flamingos on our float! We even got our caricature drawing done and we were fortunate enough to get our picture taken with the new 2012 Miss Wisconsin, Kate Gorman.
We are having such a good time, making memories that will last a lifetime! We will be back again soon with more experiences to share. If you would like to see more pictures from our latest adventures, check out our website www.cranfest.com or our Facebook page.
