One 1-hour tour at 10am each Friday (July 8-Oct. 7, 2011) rain or shine. This free tour starts at the Chamber/Community Center (except for July 29 and Sept. 9 tours, which will be fully conducted at the Vilas Cranberry Co. marsh, 660 Alder Lake Road) for the first half-hour to showcase a short video, literature/photo display, samples of juice & sweetened dried cranberries, prize drawings, and Q&A. Then motorcade in your vehicle to the Vilas Cranberry Co. marsh for an up-close look at the bogs -- growing, blooming or being harvested depending on the time of year you visit.
