Spring Tour on the Golden Earthworm Farm
Sunday, May 6, 2007

VISIT:
About 90% of members responding wanted to attend a vineyard. Because of this, the trip will include a vineyard tour/ tasting (the vineyard is $5 per person payable to the vineyard once there). If you do not want to attend the vineyard, we still want you to come to the farm. If you are driving on your own and would like to caravan with the group, please see schedule, below, about when/ where to meet us. Driving directions are at bottom.
