Fall Colors and Cranberry Fest

Eagle River Fall Colors Wow have the colors become vivid the past few days. It is amazing how beautiful this area becomes when they peak. We had a successful Cranberry Fest last weekend which usually happens at the same time the colors come out. They nailed it this year. Perfect timing.Eagle River Fall Colors
For me, this is a favorite time of year. The geese are crowding the sky. It is cooling off. The colors are changing and its hunting season. I will be taking on some pheasants this weekend with my big yellow lab. Its his first pheasant hunt so hopefully it works out.
I have already started thinking about our Christmas specials at the store. Slippers are going to be a huge part of our season. That's because when it starts to get cold like this, so many people start thinking about gifts that keep you warm. Minnetonka slippers are one of our best sellers during the Christmas season.

I really like your picture. And I'd adore having a print of it to hang in my house. I moved from New England, where we get fall colors all the time, to the west coast where fall colors are almost a joke out here.
