Wisconsin Rapids Cranberry Blossom Festival; June 18-21, 2015
It seems like the third weekend of June is always a busy one with so many events competing for the weekend with the longest days.
Wisconsin Rapids is no exception to this rule with enough events to keep anyone more than busy and entertained.
Listed below are a few of the great activities that you may enjoy, and while you are there, grab a big bag of Cranberries for me.
Thanks,
Bob
