Berry Fun Bus trip - $22 - Friday June 23rd 12:30PM - 4:30PM

This year Amy would like to invite you to bus out to Firefly Berries farm owned by our very own berryfunmom. We will be taking a short walking tour of the farm and picking some seasonal berries. We will have a jam/jelly/juice tasting as well as coolers full of regional adult beverages! Firefly Berries just started to do natural dye yarn, so there will be a chance to see and buy this lovely yarn as well as some other Farmer's market type of goods! We are working on a pop-up shop from a regional LYS as well. This is a rain or shine event that is mostly outdoors. 

* Limited to 48 participants. 

* Deadline to sign-up is May 31, 2017 or until excursion is full.
