Local South Coast cranberry growers are one of the largest producers of cranberries in the US. Supporting the local industry and growers is the UMass Cranberry Research Station, One Bog Way, in East Wareham.
At the Sippican Woman’s Club’s monthly meeting on Friday, November 8, at 12:30 pm, we will hear from two Assistant Professors – Dr. Giverson Mupambi and Dr. Leela Saisree Uppala from the Cranberry Research Station. The research work they do is important supporting local cranberry growers, the industry, production, and the environment. By the end of October, local growers have dry and wet picked 95% of their berry crops. We all look forward to seeing those berries on our tables this Thanksgiving.
The club is famous for its Annual Holiday House Tour (HHT) which will be held on Saturday, December 7. With all-hands-on-deck, members create a much-anticipated tour of elegant, unique and famous homes and includes a delightful sugar plum tea. The HHT is the Club’s major fundraiser providing scholarships to many worthy Marion students. Other group activities include a monthly book club, game night, and walking through the village.
