Talk about your autumnal beauty! The 6th Annual Cranberry Harvest Celebration is this weekend, Saturday, Oct. 10 and Sunday, Oct. 11 in Wareham, Mass. at the A.D. Makepeace Company campus. It's a great way to see and learn about the picturesque cranberry harvest, while enjoying some old-fashioned family fun. Beyond the obvious cranberry bog tours, there will be helicopter rides, pony rides, children's games, cooking demonstrations, owl and reptile shows, over 40 juried crafters and artisans, live music, and a 'Visit from the Past' Exhibit.

The celebration is held rain or shine. Admission is $2, age 6 and under get in free, and parking is also free. Additional fees for some activities do apply. Call 508-322-4000 for information.
