Vendor Contracts

Vendor contracts will be out soon.  If you were a past vendor, you will have first choice on your old booth.  Watch your mail. 

New Area Open to Vendors

Another Ringle business owner has jumped in to join us this year and has offered a portion of their parking lot and field as another spot for vendors.  If you would like to be a vendor, please call me, Jacky Luetschwager @ (715) 297-0197.  The spots are $20 each (average 20' x 20'). 

I look forward to meeting new vendors. 

Blessings from Wisconsin.

Ringle Harvest Day - October 13, 2012

I've noticed that I have had a lot of views on here lately.  So, I just wanted to refresh everyone with the date of the event this year.  It is ALWAYS the 2nd Saturday of October.  This year:  October 13, 2012. 

I do my shows on the 2nd Saturday of each month - May thru October.  May thru September at Country Fresh Meats in Weston (right off Hwy 29 & J Exit) - you can see all the vendors along the highway in their parking lot.  So, if you are near the Weston area on the 2nd Saturday - stop on in at the farm & flea market. 

The Ringle Harvest Day is growing again this year; On Q Collission Center will have vendors in their parking lot for the first time.  We hope to have some kind of shuttle between the flea market and the corn maze in Ringle.  Pray for good weather.

Blessings from Wisconsin.

Great Time at the Ringle Harvest Day–Part 2

 

Here are a few pictures of the different sights at the Ringle Harvest Day from Saturday, October 8.  There are over 100 vendor booths spread out around our little town.  My booth was busy, so I couldn’t “roam” too far.   However, I was able to snap a few shots;

As you can see – WIDE variety of items.  We look forward to next year – always the 2nd Saturday in October.

Great Time at the Ringle Harvest Fest - Part 1

I have to start out this post with "thank you Jesus for the great weather!"  It was beautiful in Wisconsin this past week.  We have had all types of weather for our Ringle Harvest Day.  The coldest was 23 (3 years ago) with snow...and then yesterday was above 80 with a sunny, but windy day. 

Our club works hard at putting this event together.  I know alot of people give me the credit for organizing it, however, I couldn't "do what I do" without the support of my family.  Thanks Al, Justine, Anna and help from my 4-H family.  Here are a few pictures of set up

Rueben, Maddie, Rock and Carson helping decorate the town hall.

Monica, Anna (& friend) taking the dumpsters around to different areas.

This job is always the favorite - how many times can you spray paint on the road and not get in trouble?  The kids always love "marking the booths."

Marking booths and putting up flags and signs.

Vendors setting up - I was there at 4:30 a.m. and the first ones to arrive were Ken & Ann Bierhals (booths #19 & 20)  at 5:00 a.m.  It was dark....

Mia, Jeremy and Carrie working and purchasing from with raffle booth.  Taylor was able to get some great donations. 

This was the first year we added live entertainment.   This is R & R Band.  They did a great job and I heard several people comment on how much they enjoyed listening to them. 

A favorite of everyone in attendance - including me - is Kraft's Kuddly Kritters petting zoo.  Alan Kraft does a great job.  You can also hire his zoo to come to your event or party, as long as it isn't the second Saturday in October... :)

Here is my nephew, Josh and his boys, Aaron and Josiah.

Let sleeping pigs lie I guess - I rubbed his belly and he grunted with delight!

Our 4-H food booth - great support from all families!!!  Thanks Stacy for organizing, picking up all the supplies and making the taco meat, Mia (Country Fresh Meats) for the hot beef and the Christiansen families (RC Pavers/Ron Christiansen Trucking) for buns.

Here is a picture of Dave Graefe enjoying one of our club's walking tacos.

Thanks again to all who supported the event.  Blessings from Ringle, WI

WELCOME to Popplewood 4-H 15th Annual Ringle Harvest Day

Hi and welcome to the Ringle Harvest Day Blog site.  I've noticed we have been getting alot of "hits" to the blog.  I just wanted to invite those viewers to come on out to Ringle on Saturday, October 8th for our annual event.

This event takes over our whole little town.  We have vendors on the sides of roads, open fields and parking lots and at the town hall.  You can park at the church or on the sides of those roads that are to the South of post office.  Wander down the streets, cross the Mountain Bay Trail over to the Ringle town hall area, stop and pet a few "kuddly kritters", order a beef sandwich, look at the raffle items (buy a few tickets), eat in the town hall and enjoy some music by R&R Band (folk/bluegrass).  Grab an order of cheese curds or take home a bag of kettle corn. 

We have over 100 vendor booths.  Don't miss any of them - you never know what treasure you will find.  NOTE:  a few years back a doll was sold at this event by a vendor for $25 and sold on EBAY for thousands....really, I had my hands on it, but put it back!!!!! Couldn't believe how much it sold for - so there really are TREASURES left in this world.

Thank you Jesus for the beautiful weather this week for set up and sale day!  Oh ya, we are a SMALL community with BIG ideas and SMALL TOWN values and hospitality!  

Hope to see you all out on Saturday - and as always:  Blessings from Ringle, WI
