2024 Apple Festival Queen
MATT MILNER Editor, Eau Claire Leader-Telegram
Morgan Wroblewski has been attending the Bayfield Apple Festival for as long as she can remember. In her words, “since I was a baby.”
Never, during all that time, did she think she’d wind up as the Apple Festival Queen. It just wasn’t on her radar.
“I had no thought of even entering myself. The chamber called and said I was going to be the Apple Festival Queen,” she said.
Her heritage might just have something to do with that. In a time when family farms and multi-generation ownership are fading, Morgan is different.
Morgan’s mom, Becca, was born a Hauser. The family runs Hauser’s Superior View Farm, one of the older orchards in the area. According to their website, a number of original, heirloom trees still stand more than a century after their planting.
“We’ve been here a long, long time,” Becca said.
The site also says the farm has been worked by five generations. Well, it depends on how you define that. You see, Morgan is the sixth. She worked in the gift shop over the summer, mostly on weekends. During the week she helped out her dad, a plumber, with his paperwork.
That double dose of family occupations isn’t common, but it does help explain why Morgan is ready for what will be a very busy weekend with the Apple Festival.
“I’m going to be volunteering at the information booth and I’m going to be a judge at the apple pie contest,” she said. Along with that there’s the apple peeling contest, which she’ll help out with, her presence at the official festival proclamation.
If that’s not enough, Morgan is also “looking forward to the coronation and the parade,” which she’ll be in, of course.
The return every year for the festival also draws on family ties. A lot of festivals and celebrations run their
course and fade away, but the Apple Festival is still going strong. Morgan has a good idea why.
“I think it’s a really good bonding opportunity for families,” she said. Families will go to an orchard and pick some apples, then head downtown for the fun. The combination creates memories and ties that just can’t happen if the family isn’t spending time together.
“It’s a tradition, you know,” she said.
If you’re wondering Morgan does have a favorite apple for eating. Right now it’s the honeycrisp. She prefers a crisp apple, one with a bit of bite to it over the softer varieties, and the blend of sweetness and tartness are a treat.
And, yes, Hauser’s grows them.

2024 Apple Festival Parade Grand Marshal
MATT MILNER Editor, Eau Claire Leader-Telegram
When Kati Anderson, the public relations manager for the Bayfield Chamber & Visitors Bureau, told Mike Berg he had been nominated to be the grand marshal for the Apple Festival’s parade, she didn’t get the reaction she expected.
“I can’t do that because I have run the parade!” he said
Fred Erickson, who nominated Berg, laughed when he heard about the comment. It was exactly the kind of thing he would expect Berg to say.
“Him and I have been very close for a number of years. He has been a mentor to me and just a very good friend,” he said.
A chat with Berg quickly tells you exactly why people are so fond of him.
Berg has organized the Bayfield Apple Festival parade for years, helping to promote the area’s orchards. He has a business interest in the area’s agriculture but it’s a blueberry patch, not apples. The name gives you a bit of insight into Berg’s sense of playfulness. Rather than name it after the family or the location, it’s called the Garage Mahal orchard.
The same puckish sense of humor shows up when Berg talks about the parade: “It’s the one time in life that I can tell hundreds of people where to go — and they’ll do it.”
Berg is quick to laugh, and even quicker to give credit to others. He said the chamber does the “yeoman’s job” with the parade, getting people signed up and ready. Once that’s done he comes in and figures out spacing and organization.
“Early in the morning we stake out the road and mark out with numbers who is where. It just becomes a question of orchestrating everything into position,” he said.
A police car and fire equipment lead things off, and Berg said there’s good reason for that. They need space, and making their way through ensures the
crowd is back far enough so the bands can get through.
“We have a couple dozen very talented bands that come from throughout the area,” he said. “My favorite moment — it’s always fun — I find it interesting to interact with the band leaders and interact with the students, which is a lot of fun.”
To Berg, making sure things come together for the parade is a way of giving back to the community. He’s well aware it’s not just his effort, though. Volunteers are the backbone of any effort like the Apple Festival. There’s usually no professional staff to rely on, especially in smaller communities. So keeping the festival going means people in the community have to come forward to help.
The fact the festival is in its 62nd year shows how well the community has done that. The enthusiasm isn’t lost on Anderson.
“We have so many volunteers who help us run the festival,” she said.
Even with that, though, Berg stands out. How could he not? When someone spends so many years wrangling entries, bands and who knows how many organizations into coherent parades, they’re indispensable.
It’s a level of dedication that impresses people, including Erickson.
“For a 90-year-old man to have the energy he does is really remarkable,” he said.
But one thing comes through in any conversation with Berg. He loves Bayfield and the surrounding area. He’s excited about the prospects of this year’s apple harvest, which he thinks should be a good one. He praised the “seriously talented growers” who take care of the orchards and hopes young people will step up to continue legacies that date back as much as five generations for some orchards.
The affection for the area developed fast. Berg said he “came up here in ’71 to go fishing and promptly fell in love with the neighborhood.” But he was also aware that, like many small towns, there’s a persistent difference between people who were born in the community and those who moved in.
Folks are nice, sure. They’re welcoming. But there sometimes seems to be a little gap that’s hard to overcome.
That makes this moment something special for Berg.
“I’ve made it,” he said. “I’m a Bayfielder.”

Artistic Tradition Meets Modern Innovation: 62nd Apple Festival Poster Created by Artist Ed Vocke
The 62nd Bayfield Apple Festival poster, crafted by artist Ed Vocke, vividly captures the essence of the region’s autumn harvest. This stunning artwork showcases the iconic apple orchards, vibrant fall colors, and the majestic expanse of Lake Superior. Vocke’s creation weaves these elements together to form a visual narrative that resonates deeply with viewers, reflecting the unique spirit of Bayfield.
A published artist with work represented in galleries across the region, Vocke’s journey into art began at an early age, as part of a generation that embraced emerging digital tools and platforms. These tools opened up limitless creative possibilities, allowing him to blend artistic traditions with modern innovations.
“For me, utilizing technology in art is about exploring endless possibilities,” Vocke explains. “Each decision, whether rooted in pieces of reality or flights of imagination, shapes the final piece. Transforming the real and familiar into something dreamlike or making something dreamlike feel tangible, that’s the artistic playground I like to create from.”
The Apple Festival poster is a testament to Vocke’s artistic philosophy, where every layer and element is carefully considered to contribute to a cohesive whole. “I wanted to capture the feeling of the harvest season: the orchards full of apples, the colors in full bloom, the beauty of the lake, the winding coastal road. It’s about the feeling that Apple Festival gives to those who live here and those who come from far and wide to experience it.”
Vocke’s poster won first place in the Apple Festival Poster contest held in 2023 at the Bayfield Festival of Arts. Looking to the future, he would love to engage with local schools, art programs, and organizations by offering workshops in digital art and storytelling.
“My goal is to inspire young artists and do my part to ensure Bayfield continues to be a source of creative inspiration for generations to come.”
The poster and buttons will be available for purchase at the Bayfield Chamber and Visitor Bureau throughout Apple Festival weekend, October 4-6.
Celebrating 62 years of the Bayfield Apple Harvest!
As the days get shorter, the weather gets chillier, and the leaves turn colors, Bayfield farmers are busy tending to their orchards in preparation for the autumn harvest. Dozens of varieties of apples are grown in the hills of Bayfield’s peninsula, and every year, this small city on the shores of Lake Superior celebrates the apple harvest with the annual Apple Festival. Be sure to take a drive along the Bayfield Fruit Loop and check out the orchard activities all weekend long.
The late James Erickson came up with the idea of the Apple Festival 62 years ago after his truck suffered a flat tire near Duluth. While waiting for a new tire, Erickson started selling apples out of his truck and realized no one knew there were apple orchards in Bayfield. Now, the festival draws anywhere from 30,000 to 60,000 people to Bayfield throughout the three-day weekend.
The smell of caramel apples, apple brats, and apple pie wafts through the jam-packed streets of Bayfield the first full weekend in October. Visitors are eager for a taste of Bayfield apples in their favorite dish or straight from the tree. You’ll find orchard booths down Rittenhouse Avenue and food booths along Rittenhouse, Manypenny Avenue, and South Second Street. Storefronts are decorated for the fall harvest and ready for the people who came to enjoy one of “USA Today’s 10 Best Fall Festivals.”
The exquisite musicianship of Big Top Chautauqua's house band, the Blue Canvas Orchestra, will fill the streets all weekend. Find them at the Grandstand Stage located on North Second Street. Enjoy a hot apple cider or hard cider while listening to local musicians in Memorial Park along the shores of Lake Superior. Music there will start at 10:30 a.m. on Friday. Check out the schedule on page 2.
The Farmer’s Market will be available both Friday and Saturday this year during festival hours. See our local growers along First Street. The Grand Parade always wraps up the weekend festivities in downtown along Rittenhouse Avenue on Sunday at 2 p.m. The Pipes and Drums of Thunder Bay are back and so is the Mass Band! Watch as area high school bands come
together to play “On Wisconsin.”
Please be mindful and respectful of each other to ensure everyone has an enjoyable and safe experience. This festival would not be possible without our dedicated sponsors and volunteers! Thank you so much to all of those who put in the time and effort to make this year’s festival safe and fun for everyone!

A flat tire in ‘62 planted the seed for this, the 62nd Apple Festival!
In the fall of 1962, orchardist Jimmy Erickson had a flat tire outside Duluth enroute to North Dakota with an apple delivery. Waiting for a spare, he began selling apples from the truck and realized there were plenty of customers closer to home, if they only knew of the Bayfield orchards. Jimmy and a few others planted the seed for Apple Festival which has grown over the years yet retained the quintessential magic of a pristine small harbor-town celebration.
This marks my family’s 25th Apple Festival and we were hooked from the start. Little did I know then we would move into an old farmhouse in Bayfield with half a dozen remaining old apple trees. Their trunks, measuring thirty-six inches in circumference, are a reminder of the acres of apple trees that once grew within city limits.
Today, most of the old apple trees have died, and new ones planted in their place. We’re still newbies in town, as some Bayfield families have over a onehundred years of history. They will serve you caramel apples, cider, donuts and other delicious food, from their stands, all from the orchards where they still work and live. Bayfield is ceded territory, and the Ojibwe measure their connection to this place in generations going back to time immeasurable. While we are “new” to Bayfield, I must share, I’ve never known a place easier to
fall in love with, or neighbors more welcoming.
The careful, thoughtful, and intentional preservation of these lands, islands, water, and histories we share is the unifying thread that makes us slow to change and protective as mother bears of what we collectively love, and love to share. It is why Bayfield’s 62nd Apple Festival is very much the same as it was in 1962. The Erickson family is still here 62 years on, and while the faces have changed, the magic has not.
On behalf of the greater Bayfield community, welcome to Apple Festival!
Absolute best wishes,
TED DOUGHERTY, MAYOR City of Bayfield
Thoughts on the Bayfield Applefest
BY HOWARD D. PAAP
Another year, another Apple Fest. This is our sixty-second gathering, the first being held way back in 1962. Much has changed over these more than six decades, but much has remained the same. Ours still is a small-town celebration, and even though we now see upwards of over 60.000 visitors on Apple Fest Weekend, we still enjoy a small-town feeling from beginning to end. Of course there have been changes over the years, changes that add a few welcome touches but in important ways the festival remains as it always has been. It still is a celebration of the apple, and of the small Bayfield and Red Cliff community, as well as our adjacent region of far northern Wisconsin and our big Lake Superior and its wonderful islands.
The history of several of our apple farms goes back well before our first festival, so many trees in today’s orchards were producing fruit for that very first get-together and are still at it, still offering delicious apples. And with a little effort–and perhaps persistence–you can find several varieties of old-time favorites like the Northwest Greening, Maiden Blush, Snow Apple, Northern Spy, and this writer’s childhood favorite, the Golden Russet. But, of course, the bulk of today’s crop includes the familiar Wealthy, MacIntosh, Cortland and several others.
A few orchards press apple cider and if it is ready, offer it for sale at the downtown festival. Also available are several types of bakery treats, like apple pies, scones, donuts, turnovers and more. And today you can also find
an abundance of apple-based wines. But the apple itself remains the favorite at the festival, the apple you hold in your hand as you bite into it and enjoy.
Apple Fest Weekend is a great time to spend a day or two strolling along the downtown business-centered streets of tiny Bayfield. Good friends can be met and excellent Apple Fest food can be enjoyed by all. Each year seems to have a favorite vendor food, like a really special barbecued beef, or blackened Lake Superior whitefish sandwich. Delicious, and good enough to tempt a person to go for a second. And since it is never too late to enjoy a cob or two of roasted sweetcorn, that autumnal favorite must be part of a fest-goer’s food choices.
But it is the handheld apple itself, fresh, crisp and just sweet enough that is a favorite on Apple Fest Weekend. Strolling through the streets of vendors while crunching a Cortland or Mac can be a lasting memory. And of course, the chance meeting of an old-time friend while moving along a downtown Bayfield street at Applefest is wonderful, too.

For the Safety of Your Pets –Please Leave Them at Home
Although it’s tempting to bring your pups along to enjoy the fall festival, we kindly ask that you leave them at home during your visit to Apple Festival. Here are some reasons why:
Too many goodies.
Picture an ice cream cone at a dog’s eye level – most of the time your dog would probably be good and avoid it, but he might just go for it. If your pet does eat an illicit treat and gets sick, everyone’s good time is ruined.
So many new smells and new people.
Even the most well behaved canine can become anxious about unfamiliar smells, people and events.
If your pet does get separated from you, it will be hard to get them reunited. Many visitors to the area are from out of town and your pet may be picked up by someone who feels they are doing a good thing by taking an animal with them.
Caramel sauce and sticky apple cider are difficult to get out of dog hair!
Be good to your best friends. Please do not put them in a situation that may bring out the worst in them or may separate you and your pet permanently.

Bayfield: Where the Water Meets the Soul
The “Gateway to the Apostle Islands,” “The Berry Capital of Wisconsin,” and “The Smallest City in Wisconsin” are all accolades Bayfield has earned. With a year-round population of 584 people, Bayfield is the smallest incorporated city in the state.
The unspoiled beauty of Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands make our city the best place for fresh scenery, stays, and experiences. Along the Highway 13 National Scenic Byway you’ll find some of the finest whiskeys, the most innovative retreats and the best fall festival; all features making Bayfield one of the best small Midwestern towns in the United States, according to USA Today readers.
Your adventure begins as you drive north to Bayfield along the Gitchigami shoreline through rolling hills, before it plateaus into the city limits. As you slow down, be sure to stop by Wisconsin’s oldest pottery studio, Eckels Pottery and Fine Craft Gallery, or grab a homemade pie or turnover from the Gourmet Garage.
When you turn the corner, you’ll be welcomed with a panoramic view of Lake Superior and Madeline Island before making your way down historic Rittenhouse Avenue. You’ll find a mix of historic buildings turned into modern lounges, galleries, and accommodations. You won’t find any big box stores along the main corridor; only locally-owned shops and galleries with friendly staff inviting you to take a piece of Bayfield home with you. Stay within walking distance in modernized historic buildings, renovated vacation rentals, or boutiquestyle motels.
At the end of Rittenhouse Avenue is your chance to get on the water with the Apostle Island Cruise Service. The narrated tour boats are filled with visitors gripping their binoculars in anticipation of getting a closer look at Eagles flying overhead and sea caves carved along the shorelines of the 22 Apostle Islands.
Walk along the path in Memorial Park and take in the sailboats and fishing boats coming and going from the marina. Walk another block north and catch the Madeline Island Ferry to see Bayfield from a new vantage point.
The ferry terminal connects travelers and their vehicles from the mainland to Madeline Island, the only currently inhabited island in the archipelago. The ferry runs several times a day throughout the year whenever the channel is free enough from ice
to operate.
Back on the mainland in the winter, the heavy lake-effect snow makes the area a mecca for active outdoor enthusiasts. Mt. Ashwabay’s 40 kilometers of pristine Nordic ski trails make it the perfect winter destination. Cozy lodging facilities are a splendid home base for those who prefer to curl up next to the fire with a book from Honest Dog Books or Apostle Islands Booksellers. Our robust winter season offers plenty of opportunity to ski and snowshoe miles of forested trails or explore the extensive Bayfield County trail system on a snowmobile. When the ground starts to thaw in spring, you’ll find Bayfield’s farmers and orchardists tending to their crops. With a climate tempered by its proximity to the greatest of the Great Lakes and protected by rolling hills, Bayfield is famous for its fruit production; a rarity in such a northern latitude. Known as the “Berry Capital of Wisconsin,” you’ll find Bayfield cherries, blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, and currents. You can pickup a pint or more or pick your own at farms along “Fruit Loop,” located just two miles from downtown Bayfield. These fruits can be found in various dishes and drinks around Bayfield in your favorite homestyle pie, cider, jelly, jam, or craft drink of choice. Also in the “Fruit Loop” are a dozen apple orchards, which are celebrated every fall during Apple Festival. Join us the first full weekend of October to enjoy uniquely Bayfield apple creations and entertainment.
Just north of Bayfield is the tribal hub of the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa in GaaMiskwaabikaang (Red Cliff). The Anishanaabe (Ojibwe) First Nations people have long been stewards of the region. Their native culture is being studied, showcased, and preserved everywhere you turn. Take a hike at Frog Bay, the first Tribal National Park in the United States. After your hike, quench your thirst at Copper Crow Distillery, the first indigenous-owned distillery in the country. There’s always something to do in spring (ziigwan), summer (niibin), fall (dagwaagin), and winter (biboon).
Lake Superior’s unmatched beauty is what keeps people coming back to experience all of what Bayfield has to offer. Come often and stay long. Explore Bayfield and the Apostle Islands for yourself. Start planning your adventure today.
Not Your GraNdma’s apple pie
the Wapple Cone is guaranteed to check all the boxes on your apple festival treat list…warm, fresh local apples, mobile, and it’s a one -of-a-kind delicacy you won’t find any where else.
The Wapple Cone is a homemade waffle cone lined with a cheesecake mousse, filled with warm spiced apples, and topped with streusel and caramel – an apple pie on-the -go. The Wapple Cone was previously voted twice as Bay field Apple Festival’s best apple treat. Levi and Anne leafblad, originators of the Wapple Cone, were inspired by other mobile festival favorites like caramel apples and corn dogs.
You could say the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree…Levi, a Bay field native, is the grandson of Hilding leafblad, who was an orchard owner at the inaugural Apple Festival in 1962 . This year will mark The Wapple Company’s 13th Apple Festival. the Wapple Company is a bit of a side hustle for the leafblads, and something they only do twice per year (apple Festival + Fall Festival on ma deline Island). The other 50 weeks of the year Levi is a 3rd generation home builder, and anne does Hr & Payroll for Northern State Bank (Ashland, WI). they also have 3 young seedlings at home, Hap, Ole, and Lad.
In 2021 they added apple cider mini donuts to their apple treat lineup. What makes their mini donuts so special is that they use fresh apple cider from sunset Valley orchard as well as apple sauce in the donut batter, along with special spices to enhance the apple flavor.
the leafblads would not get th rough apple Festival weekend without the help of their family. most of the workers in their booth are levi and anne’s parents, siblings, cousins, and the mini donuts are made by their nephews.
Fun Facts:
• Special care was taken to choose the correct apple for the Wapple Cones; levi’s aunts, who have won multiple apple pie baking contests and were previous Bay field Apple Festival Queens, unanimously recommended Cortland apples. Cortlands are crisp and maintain the appropriate ratio of tart and sweetness, and don’t turn to mush when heated.
• The Leafblads used to peel 15 bushels of apples by hand to get through an apple Festival weekend, which would take about 30 manhours to process; after they had their first child, they invested in a commercial-grade apple peeler that peels, cores, and slices a bushel of Cortland apples in 12 minutes.
• Anne is the primary cone -roller of the waffle cones. We estimate she has rolled around 14,000 waffle cones over the last 13 Apple Festivals.
• Levi’s red apple -hat that he wears belonged to his grandfather, Hilding leafblad, who was an orchard-owner at the first Apple Festival; his apple hat is the only apple le Festival.
