What would you like to see at Cranfest?
Cranfest is going on its 38th year, and we've built some great traditions! Of course, shopping at our 1200 arts & crafts, flea market, farm market and food booths is the highlight of our event, but we've also developed some great contests and one of the largest marching band parades in Wisconsin!
These great traditions will stick around for many years to come, but now we're looking for input for our visitors to make sure our festival continues to be one of the best in the country. We want to know what you like best about Cranfest, and what you don't like so much. What would you like to see at Cranfest that we don't have already? Feel free to let it all hang out. We can take it!

Cranberry Cherry Pie
Here is a tasty recipe excerpt from our local newspaper, the Tomah Journal.
"And with cranberry harvest over, it’s once again time for new ways to use those fresh cranberries. Here’s a Cranberry Cherry Pie that I thought was very good.
Cranberry Cherry Pie
Pie crust for 2 crust pie
2 cups fresh (or frozen) cranberries
3/4 c. sugar
2 tbsp. cornstarch
1 (21-oz.) can cherry pie filling
Prepare pie crust, placing bottom layer in a 9” pie pan. Leave 1/2” extending. Heat oven to 425 degrees. In large bowl, combine cranberries, sugar and cornstarch. Mix well. Stir in cherry pie filling. Mix lightly. Spoon into pie crust. Top with second crust and flute edges. Cut slits in several places. Bake 35-45 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Cover edge of crust with foil about 20 minutes into baking.
And I also recently made a pecan pie, another family favorite. You can’t get much easier than this!
Mom’s Pecan Pie
2/3 c. white sugar
2 eggs
1 heaping tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup white syrup
4 tbsp. melted butter
1/2 tsp. salt
1 c. pecans
Beat eggs and add each ingredient one at a time. Line unbaked pie shell with nuts and pour mixture over nuts. Bake in 350 degree oven for 40-45 minutes."
