Around the Corner with John McGivern | Program | Delafield (#806)
[Original Airdate: February 7, 2019]
Delafield and smiles just go together. Yes, there’s a literal, giant smile on a barn to welcome you as you exit I-94 onto Hwy 83. But we found that the smiles we enjoyed most were the ones we shared with people like Bob Lang, Tom at Naga-waukee golf course, Pipe Major Donaldson at St. John’s Northwestern Military Academy, and Ramona and Mark at Seven Seas. Smiles are always in abundance in charming, colonial-style downtown Delafield, and especially for us at the Barn Owl and Daybreak Prime Meats & Deli. Just south of I-94 we found our good moods bolstered at Lapham Peak and at Arcon Mfg. & Lake Country Candies (candy raisins make everyone smile, right?). By the time we left Randy at Ten Chimneys, our faces hurt– in a good way! Delafield is definitely a happy place!

Cedarburg Strawberry Festival 2016 - the Art of the Party
Cedarburg, in southeastern Wisconsin has perfected the art of the party. When a small town is about as pleasing as can be, what else can it do? Why, make sure everyone notices, of course.
In 1972, an old Yankee mill town just north of Milwaukee started a Wine & Harvest Festival. Two years later, it started Winter Festival. Eight years after that, it started Strawberry Festival. And people poured into Cedarburg by the thousands.
It's charming and quaint and sweet and walkable, and when you throw a festival on top of that, it makes it very irresistible to a lot of people, says Kristine Hage, director of the chamber of commerce.
All about strawberries.
Craving an art-filled weekend brimming with the most luscious summer fruit? Cedarburg’s Annual Strawberry Festival is a free, family-oriented festival. The festival a favorite of many, drawing up to 100,000 people annually to toast the bold and delicious fruit in all its forms, and enjoy some of the most decadent homegrown strawberries in the area.
On the Saturday morning of Strawberry Festival, white tents have sprouted up and down Washington Avenue. By 10 a.m., Amy's Candy Kitchen was packed with people ogling fat caramel apples covered with pecans, cashews, white chocolate and M&Ms.
Outside the meat market, people stood in line to buy freshly grilled strawberry brats. “All That Pizzazz” was packed with shoppers looking at tile birdhouses, hand-painted martini glasses and beaded purse pins that read, I came, I saw, I bought.
At Cedar Creek Settlement, the winery was filled with people buying bottles of Strawberry Blush, Settlement Gold and Waterfall Riesling. Upstairs, a shopper walked narrow hallways past shops displaying pottery, paintings, and vintage wear and antiques.
