Check out downtown
for antiques, market
While there will be a lot
of activity at the Vilas
County Fairgrounds during
Cranberry Fest, there also
will be plenty of attractions
in downtown Eagle River.
The festivities will include a farmers market, an
antiques show and a food
stand — all within just a
few feet of dozens of unique
shops in downtown Eagle
River. Featured food will include hot dogs, brats, chili
and homemade soup with
Craisins™.
For the convenience of
festivalgoers, the first three
blocks of Wall Street will be
closed to traffic. In addition, a bus shuttle will provide transportation between the fairgrounds and
downtown.
“People visiting the area
are encouraged to extend
their stay at Cranberry
Fest in downtown Eagle
River,”
said
chamber
Events Coordinator Kim
Emerson.

Antique show
A favorite annual attraction of Cranberry Fest is
scheduled to return this
year, with the open-air antique market Saturday,
Oct. 5.
The Eagle River Business Association will host
the event, which is sponsored by Zurko Antiques
and Collectibles Market.
The show will be held from
9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the first
three blocks of Wall Street.
A variety of antiques and
collectibles will be available
for sale, including glassware, jewelry, furniture,
sporting goods and more.
Farmers market
Fresh fall produce will
be available from 9 a.m. to
4 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 5, in
downtown Eagle River.
A variety of fresh produce will be for sale on Wall
and Main streets.
Fresh cranberries and
Craisins™ can be purchased downtown.

Cranberry Fest activities expand well beyond the Vilas County Fairgrounds. For example, an open-air antique show is

planned in downtown Eagle River Saturday. There also will
be a farmers market downtown. —NEWS-REVIEW PHOTO
