In our family the Cranberry Festival<\/a> has become synonymous with Thanksgiving. \u00a0This year we got ourselves sufficiently organized and managed to make the pancake breakfast before the real crowds descended. \u00a0The torrential downpour helped deter a few of the early morning keeners; if it is sunny next year we are going to need to be ready to eat no later than 8am! \u00a0At 8:15 we were in line to get our delicious pancake breakfast. \u00a0For $6 we got 2 massive pancakes, 2 yummy pork sausages, 1 delicious cranberry bratwurst and a juice box. \u00a0Great deal! \u00a0Thank heavens for the large tables and awnings. \u00a0Everyone huddled under the awnings, chatting loudly, munching happily…a truly wonderful community event!<\/p>\n

Fortunately the sun prevailed scaring the storm clouds off\u00a0and the umbrellas were tucked away. \u00a0The entire main street of Fort Langley was closed and vendors packed in their booths. \u00a0Treats of all sorts were for sale. \u00a0Everything from Christmas crafts to pumpkin flower bouquets, from honey to cheeses, from baked goodies to homemade soap…this was a festival for the senses.<\/p>\n

\"Face<\/a>I must give a special shout out to the face painting. \u00a0My heavens was this lady talented…and she did everything by donation! \u00a0In addition to the main street vendors, there were many food trucks (delicious) and loads of live entertainment. \u00a0Our kids are big fans of the mini-golf course, they would have played multiple rounds had we had sufficient cash on hand.<\/p>\n

\"Cranberry<\/p>\n

Of course the cranberries were central to the days’ events. \u00a0Our eldest purchased his own 1lb bag of cranberries, carried them around the festival, brought them home and promptly made them into cranberry sauce for our Thanksgiving dinner. \u00a0He actually ate one of these 2 jars entirely by himself during dinner. \u00a0Crazy kid!<\/p>\n

The Fort Langley Cranberry Festival<\/a> is always the Saturday of the Thanksgiving long weekend. \u00a0Mark your calendars for next year; this a great event not to be missed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
