A
FEAST FOR THE SENSES…
CEDARBURG’S WINE & HARVEST FESTIVAL
SEPTEMBER 20 & 21, 2008
|
*We
dedicate this festival to stellar volunteer, Henry Retzlaff,
Jr., who passed away this summer. Henry will be remembered

and continual good cheer. |
Spend a weekend in the country in Historic Cedarburg during Wine
& Harvest Festival, Saturday, September 20 from 10-6 and Sunday,

Both
the bounty of fall’s harvest and the award-winning wines
of Cedar Creek Winery are what initiated this 36th annual event.
Food Courts feature steamed corn, caramel apples,
kettle corn, apple cider, homemade ice cream, turkey legs, brats,
burgers and savory/sweet delights. The Farmer’s
Market brims with seasonal fruits and vegetables, flowers
and plants, herbs and apples. At Cedar Creek Winery’s
booths you can buy wine by the glass. The Marketplace
offers Wisconsin products such as honey, syrup, cheese, sausage
and jellies.
Festival fans will find Live Music all over town,
