Just need to make sure the parts manager that I share my part-time employee with is OK with the dates I picked out. If he is, I'll be there

I'll be leaving here mid-day Thursday. My plan is to make this a mini vacation ending with the meet. I have Monday off as well so I won't be rushing back. Just need to figure out what to do leading up to Sunday

You have Old Sturbridge Village also ...

http://www.osv.org/

Garden Thyme
October 20

Garden Thyme programs are held on the third Saturday of each month and are FREE for members of Old Sturbridge Village.

Led by Village horticultural and agricultural staff, these programs and workshops are held at various sites and deal with a variety of plant-related themes and topics.

Participants gather at the Visitor Center at 10 a.m. each month and are led to the appropriate site or setting.

October 20, 2012
"The Art of Grafting"
Learn how to graft your own fruit trees. The selection of root stock and fruit varieties will be discussed and simple grafting techniques will be demonstrated.

November 17, 2012
"Holiday Wreath Making and Decorations"
Learn how to craft your own evergreen wreaths, swags and garlands just in time for the holidays. Decorating ‘Della Robbia' style will also be discussed.

Harvest Days
October 20 - October 21

Come help us celebrate the harvest and the beautiful New England autumn.

Help with the harvest, talk with costumed interpreters about the harvest, and learn about methods of food preservation.

The Cider Mill will be operating this weekend (and most weekends in October), with apples ground by ox-power on Saturday and the pulp pressed for its juice on Sunday. You can even get in on the act with a hand-powered "cider mill".

Join our costumed interpreters as they:

•Harvest corn, root vegetables, and potates.
•Taste heirloom apples and tour our orchards
•Put the Herb Garden "to bed" for the season
•Conduct garden and root cellar tours and discuss food prepartion
•Thresh and winnow grain
•Shell corn and beans
•Churn butter

Thank you for the info Jason

mjrpaine · Post by **mjrpaine** » Mon Sep 24, 2012 8:46 pm

Not a problem. I have a membership there ... the kids love going there and seeing all the stuff over and over again...

But for me ... I like the history and watching how they did everything back then.

Not sure if you are new to MA but here is some of the crap I do in this great state lol:
-At the Quabbin itself you can rent a boat cheaply and go out fishing or whatever for the day.
-Plenty of parks in the new England area (6 Flags, Water Country). -Taking a ride up / hiking Mt. Wachusett is cool
-Girlfriend loves when I take her to the yankee candle village in South Deerfield.
-Prime apple picking season at many of the orchards like the ones in the Brookfields.

I'll add more if I think of them.

The words Motel and Ware sound worse than dumpster and Kmart

Didn't they discontinue that due to how unhealthy it was? haha
