Stone Lake, Wisconsin population of 544 at the 2000 census holds a Cranberry Festival the first week-end of October. There are Craft Vendors, Tours of Cranberry Bogs, Crate Derby, and more. Here are some photographs I took of a Cranberry Bog being flooded.
Photograph One: Zawistowski Cranberry Bogs Sign, Stone Lake, Wisconsin.
Photograph Two: One part of cranberry bog was flooded the other part has cranberries floating. Notice fall color is in background.
Photograph Three: Close-up of Cranberries floating in water.
Photograph Four: Cranberries floating in water plus a cranberry plant. Here are two sites that you can find information about this fest, just in case you would like to attend next year: http://stonelakewi.com and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone_Lake,_Wisconsin. And that's all folks for now. See you all later.

Oh how pretty. I've never seen a cranberry bog other than photographs. It must be a beautiful sight, especially with the fall trees in the background. laurie
