Cookie Daze 2010 was a HUGE success with record crowds.  To see pictures of the event please visit www.facebook.com/cookiedaze.  Thank you to all the volunteers and visitors who made the 15th anniversary such a great event!  Cookie Daze will take place next year on Saturday, August 6, 2011.

In celebration of Cookie Daze's 15th birthday we will be having a movie theme, which will include special movie themed activities, a prize drawing for kids AND adults and a special tent with free water provided by Ultimart Convenience Stores!

Cookie Daze is a fun, mostly free festival for children of all ages.  Kids can build their own rockets, take wagon rides, do a variety of arts & crafts, play Cookie BINGO and taste test delicious Bake & Taste cookies all at Ripon's Barlow Park.  The most anticipated activity are the Cookie Drops.  Hundreds of children wait beneath the Ripon Fire Department's tallest ladder truck, eager to have thousands of Rippin' Good Cookies literally drop from the sky.  These excited cookie monsters scramble for individually wrapped goodies that are Ripon-baked and taste so good with wholesome milk.  The frenzy is repeated for three age categories (5-6; 7-9 & 10-12).  There are also two cookie hunts for the smaller children (ages 1-4).  The festival began as a tribute to Ripon baking the World's Largest Cookie in 1994, which measured 907.9 square feet!  In 1996 Governor Tommy Thompson issued a proclamation recognizing Ripon, WI as CookieTown, USA.
