The tent sites are filling up fast, if we fill those up there will be opportunities for doubling up teardrops on the larger pull through sites and the campground is willing to work with us for overflow camping but those may not have electric.

Ok. I need to see how scheduling works out. But look forward to meeting up at CICO. Thanks!
I don't see the registration link anymore and wonder if it was pulled once the campground capacity was filled? Or am I just missing it somewhere?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
No registration for CICO yet…..
Badger meeting the weekend after CICO is on a farm and you need to get reservations for a campsite….
The two have kinda blended together…
Has anyone made reservations for the Badger event yet? Still pondering…. it would be nice to register in a group like sites 10- 20 or 40 - 50 etc

Thanks Carl. I thought i saw something about this year's event earlier. I'll keep an eye out here for the official word.
We have reservations for the Badger Event. Super easy to make online at the Steel Oak Farm Stay website. Teardrops can book the tent sites which are less expensive and also have water and electric.
I thought this was an interesting article about the area…. cranberries and Warrens….

See ya at CICO
I toured Wisconsin's cranberry marshes during harvest — and learned I'd been wrong about cranberries
Wisconsin grows 60% of America's cranberries. I toured the marshes at peak harvest to see how they're really grown and why cranberries don't actually grow in water.

Cranberries play an important part in the economy and lives of the the people in this area. Being from New England, where Ocean Spray got it's start, I never knew cranberries grew anywhere else, let alone Wisconsin, until we moved to Tomah 34 years ago. At that time, Wisconsin was on the fast track to becoming the top producer of cranberries in the world. This was made possible by the fact that Wisconsin had so much available land that was conducive to growing cranberries. That amount of rapid expansion was not possible in the Northeast, as available land was limited.
With the exception of a few years, the dates for the CICO have always coincided with the annual Warrens Cranberry Festival (always the last full weekend in September). We have several Camp-Outt attendees who like to attend Cranfest. The festival is the largest of its kind in the world and the small village of Warrens (pop. ~400) swells to between 150,000 -175,000 people over the 3 day event. There are self-guided cranberry marsh tours, daily entertainment, several different contests, a 2 hour parade, and over 3 miles of vendors (arts & crafts, farmers market, food and flea market). Residents of Warrens literally give up their yards to vendors, as all available space in town is used for the event.
If you are interested in doing a driving tour of the cranberry marshes in the area, as well as info on Cranfest, I always have maps/info available. In addition, info on driving tours of nearby Amish communities and locations of several bike trails are also available. You will find these at the registration table at the Camp-Outt.

Washington state also has a lot of cranberries. The Furford picker is still used today.

Great article! Washington, Oregon, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Wisconsin are the largest producers. Canada and a few South American countries also produce cranberries. The majority of Washington's berries (70% of about 170,000 annual barrels) are dry harvested for fresh product sales. Wisconsin's dry harvesting accounts for 5% of their berry production (about 250,000 barrels). The remaining 95% (~5 million barrels) is wet harvested for use in processed products (juices, sauces, and dried cranberries). Lots of berries bouncing around!
