The Cranberry Trifest!! (Click below for a direct link)
The Cranberry Country Triathlon has been renamed Cranberry Trifest to reflect our expansion of the event into a whole weekend of racing including a sprint distance triathlon, a kids duathlon and the "classic" olympic distance triathlon which has been selected as the USAT Northeast Regional Club Championship for the second year in a row.
The sprint will be on Saturday, August 29, 2009 and will consist of a 0.5 mile swim, a 12 mile bike, and a 3.1 mile run starting at 9:00AM.
The kids duathlon will follow the sprint (distance TBD). The intermediate distance triathlon (0.8 mile swim/24.9 mile bike/6.2 mile run) will be on Sunday, August 30, 2009.

CRANBERRY COUNTRY- With our April, May and June Cranberry Country Journal tapings we've continued, this spring, to bring you the topics and the guests that really matter to you and our neighbors in the Cranberry Country area.
CCJ has introduced you to the local author of the non-fiction book, "Talk to Me, " as well as an interview with Lakeville's very own Miss PreTeen Massachusetts, and a look at the 72 hour survival kit as explained by Middleboro Health Officer Jeanne Spaulding.
Award-winning playwright - and author of her latest book, "Winterkill" - Joyce K. Walsh was joined by theatre and film veteran, Peg Holzeimer (you did see her in The Departed?) of Middleboro for another informative program, while Paul was later visited by Lakeville resident and author of the very successful book, "The Constant Outsider" - Thomas M. Cirignano.
Late May had us before the cameras with the proprietor of Gazelle Feng Shui (and Home and Garden TV guest) Tracy Miller, and Alberta Sequeira, the author of "A Healing Heart: A Spiritual Renewal." Another program you just can't miss!
15 years of community programming
and going strong!
The 2009 season has the long-running Cranberry Country Journal television program busy in the studios - where our very first program was taped in 1993 - and from where today we're still bringing our neighbors the sounds and SIGHTS that make the Cranberry Country area a special place to call home.
"It's good to be back in our 'plush but not overly ostentatious' TV studios down by the bog,'" explains host and producer Paul Lazarovich. "There's no place like home."
The show's WVBF radio program hiatus has provided CCJ with an opportunity to develop programs, topics and ideas for its continuation as Cranberry Country's original and successful TV newsmagazine format.
As the area's longest continually running cable TV show ("OK, the Selectmen and School Committee meetings do have us beat"), Cranberry Country Journal has provided viewers with an extensive schedule of local topics and programming vital to the towns of the Cranberry Country area, that's second to none.
Since its initial airing over 15 years ago, Cranberry Country Journal has been offering area viewers with lively programming and engaging topics as interesting and diverse as the community itself.
--- CCJ TV has brought viewers on-site with broadcasts from:
The Annual Holiday Parade, the first Soule Homestead Farm
Festival, Opening Day of Middleboro Youth Softball, the Middleboro Farmer's' Market, the Taunton Mall, Middleboro High School, Miss Lakeville pageant, Middleboro High School Homecoming, the Pratt Farm Festival, Downtown Crazy Days.......
---In-studio programs have provided insightful interviews with:
Representatives from community organizations such as:
the Boy Scouts...Sea Devils Swim Team..YMCA...Girl Scouts...the
Nemasket River Players...MHS...Rotary...Chamber of
Commerce...SHARP/EPIC Program...Middleboro Grange...Lakeville
Haunted House.........
--- We've met with local officials such as .....
State Senator Mark Pacheco, State Representatives Thomas O'Brien, Steven Kraus, and Steve Canessa; Middleboro Supt. of Schools, the Plymouth County Sheriff, Directors of area libraries and individuals from town governments...
--- And our TV specials have included..... a behind the scene tour of Fenway Park...a visit with Disney's Aladdin and Ariel...
"And we look to our neighbors, community groups and organizations," notes Lazarovich, "for program topics and suggestions so that we may continue with our founding mission - "To present a slice of life of the people, places and activities that make the Cranberry Country area a special place to call home. "
----------------------------------------------
At Cranberry Country Journal we are delighted to bring you your neighbors, friends and representatives from area businesses, schools, organizations and events that indeed "make Cranberry Country a special place to call home."
Be sure to join us - from our "plush but not overly ostentatious TV studios down by the bog" - as Cranberry Country's original newsmagazine television program continues to bring you the programming, topics and people that truly matter to the people of the Cranberry Country area.
