Please try to arrive by 5:30 p.m. The wagons leave promptly at 6:00 p.m.
$15 per adult and $8 per child. 5 and under are free!

There is a sign up sheet hung on the door in the lobby. Please let us know if you plan to come! If you decide at the last minute to come, come on! Just bring your payment with you! We will provide the hot dogs, cider, water and S’more fixins.

Location: Milburn Orchards, 1495 Appleton Rd, Elkton, MD 21921

IMPORTANT:
Use the special parking lot designated for Bonfires, NOT the farm market parking lot. This is where your group will gather, the tractor driver will pick you up and drop you off at the end of the evening. The Farm Yard is off limits after dark so it is extremely important to use the correct parking area. For a printable map and directions to Milburn Orchards, please visit www.milburnorchards.com.

Any questions, contact Kelly Tompkins.

Choir Rehearsal starts tonight

by | posted in: News | 0

The first rehearsal of our Choir starts tonight, Thursday, Sep. 6, at 7:30 p.m. in the Choir Room. There is not an anthem scheduled for this coming Sunday, so this rehearsal will be a somewhat relaxed, get acquainted with new music time. If any of you would like to join the group just to see what it is like, I warmly invite you.

I will be in the Choir Room at 6:00 p.m. in case anyone wants to come a little early to do a little practice singing with me to get an idea what voice part he or she might be.

Rehearsals are usually over by 9:00.

Cheers!
