Elvis is in the buildingCirca ‘21 favorite, Robert Shaw, returns to the stage this November for a Rock ‘N’ Roll Holiday Extravaganza! Shaw will be taking on the role of The King himself, Elvis Presley! We hosted this tour for the last two years and it has been so well received many wanted to see it again in 2019. The popularity was anticipated by the Circa 21 management and they scheduled a repeat for 2019. The Holidays were always a very special time for The King of Rock n’ Roll. For Elvis, the holidays meant a time of sharing with friends, family, and even complete strangers! No expense was spared when it came to decorating Graceland for Christmas, and Elvis took the same approach when it came time to recording holiday music. During his lifetime, he released three albums of songs to celebrate the season, which have since been re-packaged and re-configured many ways.

When we think about cranberries we think about Thanksgiving, which happens to be just around the corner. Nothing goes better with turkey and apple pie than cranberries.  So why not celebrate the cranberry with a festival? That’s exactly what the folks in Warrens Wisconsin did many years ago.  And guess what; the Warrens Cranberry Festival has turned out to be a bigger-than-life event for the folks in the heart of Cranberry Country.  This is an absolutely must-do early fall day trip. Discover the color of fall at the 47th Warrens Cranberry Festival.Located one hour southeast of Eau Claire and two hours northwest of Madison, the small village of 350 swells to over 100,000 shoppers searching for that unique find among the 1300 art and craft booths from 26 states! This fest is a great way to accomplish all your seasonal decorating ideas or holiday gifts. The flea/antique market area is a stop for the men to pick up new fishing lures, hunting knives and scopes for the fall hunting season. The Farm Market has a huge selection of all the fall produce: apples, gourds, pumpkins, popcorn, Indian corn, with fresh cranberries, juices, salsas, jams/jellies and all the traditional fall veggies. There is even a largest vegetable contest as well as a scarecrow contest along with the biggest cranberry and pumpkin. Check out the photography, quilts, flowers, and food demos. Shoppers state “If you cannot find it in Warrens — it’s not available!” This show has been judged by the vendors through “Sunshine Artists” magazine in Florida as being in the top 200 shows in the country! A must-do favorite is the Cranberry Bog Tours on Friday and Saturday starting at 8 a.m. Follow up with a visit to the Wisconsin Cranberry Discovery Center on Main Street. You may eat your way through the many ethnic food vendors starting out with pancakes and cranberry syrup, but don’t forget to leave room for Marshfield’s Sweet Adeline’s Cranberry Cream Puffs!

Buddy was a true music pioneer. Being highly influenced by Elvis Presley after seeing him perform in 1955, Buddy began to incorporate a rockabilly sound with a strong down stroke rhythm guitar and unique hiccup-like vocals. Todd Meredith and the Rave-Ons will take you on a musical journey starting with Buddy’s early recordings at Decca Records in Nashville, through his breakout hits with Norvajack Studios in Clovis, New Mexico, and ending with the story of his ill-fated final tour and his death in Iowa.  Audience members will enjoy humorous banter between the songs as well as receive an enjoyable history lesson about this legendary singer and monumentally influential group.

Lauderdale, Florida 7:00 am ARUBA Dutch influence still lingers on this balmy Caribbean island, part of the former Netherlands Antilles until its independence in 1986. Aruba is a contrast: the island’s arid interior is dotted with cactus and windswept divi-divi trees while secluded coves and sandy beaches make up its coast. Aruba’s long and colorful heritage is reflected in its dialect. Called Papiamento, it is a tongue that combines elements of Spanish, French, Portuguese, Dutch, African and English.   CURACAO Historians still contend over which European adventurer first spied the largest island in the former Netherlands Antilles. Some historians claim the honor for Alonzo de Ojeda; other historians champion Amerigo Vespucci. Little does it matter;...
