Strolling Nantucket
By Linda Tancs
Nantucket’s Christmas Stroll returns this year from 5 to 7 December with the usual fare: live music, tours, crafts and Santa’s visit (with the Mrs. of course) via Coast Guard vessel on Saturday at 12:30 p.m. The Town Crier will announce their arrival and escort them to their horse-drawn carriage for the journey down Main Street. An author once wrote, “All the stories I’ll ever need are right here on Main Street.” The folks on Nantucket would surely agree.

Cranberries Provide Autumn Color
By Linda Tancs
This time of year, it’s more than just the crimson treetops glowing against the cool blue sky. Look under your feet–in the marshy bogs, that is. ‘Tis the season for harvesting the cranberry, along with a few festivals to mark the occasion. So where to go? That part’s easy because cranberries only grow in a few regions, like the Cranberry Coast of Washington State, Wisconsin’s Cranberry Highway, Cape Cod, or South Jersey. Might get a little cool. Bring your Wanderful Places(r) sweatshirt along for the ride.
