2019-2020 Warrens Cranberry Festival Royalty December Update


Royal greetings and Happy Holidays!

We are so excited to share all the events we’ve had the opportunity to participate in since our last update.  

On November 29th, Princess Katie and Princess Annabelle attended the Tomah Holiday Parade. We left our float at home and only took the Suburban. The weather was nice so we walked the entire parade route waving to everyone along the way. The parade route was packed with people on both sides of street. We enjoyed hot chocolate before and after the parade. 

On December 6th, Princess Katie and Princess Annabelle attended the Sparta Holiday Parade. Before the parade we enjoyed hot chocolate at the Royalty Tea and took pictures with Santa and Ben Biken. We walked the entire route of the parade waving to all the cheerful parade goers. The weather was great and it was a delightful night.

On December 13th, we served cranberry juice and handed out presents at the Tomah Senior Center Christmas Party. It was nice to visit and spread some holiday cheer with area seniors.

On December 14th, we toured the Wisconsin Capital in Madison. The rotunda contained a 30 foot tall Christmas tree. The tree was decorated with ornaments that were handmade by students from all over Wisconsin. The theme this year is a celebration of what science means to Wisconsin students. This is the 103rd year a tree has been in the Capitol rotunda. We were able to take some great photos near the Christmas tree and out on the observation deck. We left for lunch and later toured the Executive
Residents. The house was filled with beautiful Christmas trees, each of them were decorated in a different theme. One of the trees was decorated in red, white and blue lights and military ornaments to remember Wisconsin’s deployed service members and named “Tribute to our Troops”. We had a busy day in
Madison with picture taking and holiday excitement. We’ve enjoyed  celebrating the holiday season and promoting the Cranberry Festival on all our adventures this past month.

Happy Holidays!

Here is a sneak peek of what’s ahead on our schedule: 
Shopping for formals, Fairest of the Fair Coronation, WSCGA Winter Meeting, and Westby Snowflake Ski Jump.

2018-2019 Warrens Cranberry Festival December Royalty Update




Royal greetings and Happy Holidays!

We are so excited to share all the events we’ve had the opportunity to participate in since our last update.  This last month we had fun being creative and decorating our float for the holiday parades. We strung lots of lights and Christmas décor to make it look festive.

November 21st Nodji took us on a fun shopping trip for our business attire. It didn’t take long to find the perfect outfit so we even had time to get frozen yogurt for our ride home. Can’t wait to show
everyone our new outfits!

On November 23rd, we attended the Tomah Holiday Parade. The weather did not cooperate, it was a rainy night so we left the float covered and walked the entire parade route waving to everyone along the way. We still had fun spreading holiday cheer to all who attended. 

On November 30th we attended the Sparta Holiday Parade. We received many compliments on how
beautifully decorated the float was. We won a plaque for best use of lights for the second year in a row so that really made our night complete.

On December 13th we toured the Wisconsin Capital in Madison. The rotunda contained a 35 foot tall balsam fir tree. The tree was decorated with ornaments that were handmade by students from all over Wisconsin. The theme this year was America's Dairyland. Later that day we toured the Executive
Residents. The house was filled with beautiful Christmas trees, each had its own unique decorations. Our trip to Madison was a day filled with picture taking and holiday excitement. We’ve enjoyed  celebrating the holiday season and promoting the Cranberry Festival on all our adventures this past month.


Happy Holidays!

2017-2018 Warrens Cranberry Festival Royalty December Update

Royal greetings everyone!

We were excited to show off all our hard work spent on decorating our beautiful float for Christmas. The first holiday parade was in Tomah on November 24th. It was a cold and rainy night but we still had fun spreading holiday cheer to all who attended. 

On December 1st we attended the Sparta Holiday Parade. We were invited to a royalty tea prior to the
parade where they served delicious hot chocolate. This parade was a blast and we received many
compliments on our beautiful capes and lovely decorated float. After the parade we went to see the lights in the park. We took tons of pictures with children, dogs, Santa and Mrs. Claus too! It was a lovely evening to celebrate the Christmas season!

December 2nd we had two events. We started out the day at the Wisconsin Cranberry Discovery Center for their Christmas Open House. We helped serve cranberry punch, hot cranberry cider and cranberry
hors d’oeuvres and had a great time visiting with the guests. Later that same day we headed to Black River Falls for Christkindl Festival. The city was decorated with beautiful garland wrapped lampposts and a fire pit  on each block. The parade wasn't very long, but we received a lot of applause and good comments about our float. Afterwards we took Christmas pictures with some beautiful horses, Mr. & Mrs. Clause, and also the Jackson County Royalty. This concludes our holiday parades but we are looking forward to all the
parades this summer.

December 6th we toured the Wisconsin Capital in Madison. The Capital building is a very beautiful and stunning structure. In the center of the building stood a huge Christmas tree with a toy train circling around it. We also visited Representative Nancy VanderMeer’s office, unfortunately she was out of her
office so we couldn’t get pictures with her. The capital visit was supper fun and an awesome experience!

After visiting the to Capital we went to the Executive Mansion. The mansion was filled with beautiful Christmas trees, each had its own unique decorations. One of the trees was decorated with a variety of fruit and of course they included the best fruit of all, CRANBERRIES! We loved the tour and took lots of
pictures with all the lovely trees. After the tour we went to Ella’s Deli for a wonderful lunch. We enjoyed looking around at all the unique decor in the deli and finished off our meal  with delicious ice cream.
Everyone had a wonderful day in Madison and it was a great day to spreading some Holiday Cheer!

Happy Holidays!

2016-2017 Warrens Cranberry Festival Royalty December Update



Royal Greetings to everyone!


We are excited to share with everyone our latest events we’ve had the opportunity to take part in this past month. We've been busy with the holiday parades and celebrations! We were in the Tomah parade November 25th, and Sparta parade December 2nd. The weather was a little chilly but our long capes helped keep us warm. 

On December 10th Lindsay, Stevie and I along with our families traveled to Madison to tour the Governor's Mansion and State Capitol. It was such an exciting and fun day spent with family and royalty sisters! 

On December 3rd Stevie and Lindsay did a food demo at the Cranberry Discovery Center. Stevie made Cranberry Sauerkraut Meatballs, and Lindsay made Cranberry Coffee Cake. There was a nice turnout and visitors said our recipes were DELICIOUS!. We’re having a great time enjoying the holidays and promoting the Cranberry Festival on our adventures.

Yours Truly,
