Escape To Spring . . . . Who's ready?



Well, it looks like we still have snow in the forecast, but we are ready for Spring. As far as we can tell, the sun is staying with us longer throughout the day and next weekend we "Spring" our clocks ahead. So who's with us?

Everyone at Van Wilgen's "Escape to Spring" exposition, that's who. This weekend from Friday, March 5 through Sunday March 7 from 8am to 5pm over 30 local businesses are getting together to celebrate the prospect of Spring.

The event is going to feature suggestive landscape solutions, helpful hints on using soils, fertilizers and tools. Pretty much everything that you'll need to know before you design your lawn landscape or start planting vegetable and flower seeds. The event will also have everything for sports enthusiasts, chefs, handymen, artists and fashionistas.

Don't forget to bring your kids to this event. Boats, trailers and big trucks will be on hand for children of all ages to explore.

Bishop's Orchards is participating everyday from 8am-5pm with tasty food and wine samples. The wine tasting schedule is: Friday from 2-5pm, Saturday from 12-5pm and Sunday from 12-5pm. We look forward to seeing you there. Come on SPRING!!!
