The 75th Annual Three Pines Junction Berry Festival is underway!

Join Stephen and Dell as they report live from the Ponder Lake boardwalk, where pie contests, jam judging, artisan vendors, and the legendary Blueberry Roll bring creatures from every corner of the woods together for one unforgettable celebration.

Meanwhile, the debut episode of Creatures Court tackles an unusual legal dispute between Groundhog and Catbird over partially eaten strawberries, Sister Cat offers practical advice about the importance of naps, Fenwick shares the latest happenings from the garden, and Dell discovers that creativity doesn't always follow the same rules as recipes.

This cozy comedy episode is filled with woodland humor, gentle philosophy, quirky characters, and a reminder that sometimes trying something new deserves recognition all its own.
