Cider Festival October 16

The Fifth Annual Cedar Mill Cider Festival, sponsored by Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District, will bring our pioneer history to life again on the grounds of the John Quincy Adams Young house on a crisp fall afternoon.

Our wonderful enthusiastic Boy Scouts from Troop 208 will run antique cider presses to make fresh apple cider—and it’s free! Burnt Ends BBQ team will provide lunch, serving their authentic bbq meats for sandwiches with all the trimmings, and the Grange members will be serving up apple crunch and ice cream.

The band this year will be “The New Five Cents.” A Rocking Old Time Dance Band is how they describe their group, and we’re sure they’ll have everyone tapping their toes if not jumping up to dance.

Plan to get your Halloween pumpkin from Dinihanian Farms’ booth! They’ll also be selling jugs of fresh cider to take home.

And community organizations and craft vendors will fill booths to delight and inform you. The History Tent will have information about restoration plans for the historic house and will be accepting donatons for that effort.

Plus the THPRD RecMobile will be there with activities for kids, so be sure to plan to join us. 1-4 pm, Sunday, October 16. More details in next month’s News, or visit the event website.
