We go to the Cranberry Festival every year. Our main goal is to get a 7 pound box of fresh cranberries so that Eileen can make the best cranberry sauce all year long. She divides them up into packages of about 4 cups per gallon freezer bag. But it’s also fun to go there to Burlington County to visit the Pinelands and see the folks who populate that area. You would not recognize it as Jersey. They have live bluegrass music and many other attractions. If you go, put your car into a paid parking lot and go early. It becomes a mob scene by the late morning. Also we stop at a favorite antique barn on the way out . See the link below for details.
