Sept. 6 – Last of the Summer Sand

Pick Up: 4:00

We’re heading to Devearux beach in Marblehead for a last taste of summer! Feel free to pack a lunch or there is an Oceanside restaurant called “Lime Rickies” with all you can think of and more. Oh and don’t forget SUNSCREEN!!!

Sept. 13 - Its Tee Time

We’ll hit the outdoor miniature golf links one more time before the season ends. We will stop at Papa Gino’s for lunch and then to Paradise Golf! If there’s time we’ll head to Richardson’s for an ice cream as well.

Lunch can run $4-7. Golf and Ice Cream $10.

Sept. 20 – 21st Annual Weekend in the Country at Smolaks Farms

You don't want to miss this one! We’ll pick apples, hop on a hayride, check out the talented local crafters and take in the musical entertainment. Bring a picnic lunch or we’ll stop by a local sub shop on our way to pick up a sandwich.

Apple picking $5-$12 depending on the size of the bag. If you have a sweet tooth there will be apple crisp and the like for sale so you may want to bring a few extra dollars.

Sept 27 – Audubon Exploration and Hike

Its off to the Ipswich River Reservation, Mass Audubon’s largest sanctuary. We’ll check out the Education Center (there’s always something to learn), explore the forests while watch for river otters, painted turtles, and great blue herons.

Admission $4, Lunch: Bring a picnic lunch or, if you need to, well stop by a local sub shop on our way to pick up a sandwich.

October 4: Its Time for the Topsfield Fair!

Its America’s oldest agricultural fair, need I say more! This will be an extended outing to give folks time to explore and have fun so we’ll return around 5:30. As this will be a longer outing the registration fee for this event will be $20, instead of the regular $15. Space is limited so signup early as it will be first come first served.

Fair admission is normally $12 but we’ll be working on discounted tickets. If you think you might like rides, ride tickets are 11 tickets for $15. Food at the fair is anyone’s guess but $5-$10 should do the trick.

October 11: Bostonville Grille Arcade

12:30 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.

Bring on your game. During the summer we hit Salem Willows. Let’s see how Bostonville measures up! Join us on our arcade/fun spot exploration and critique. Vote for your favorite!

$5 Pizza & Drink $10(Suggested) Spending Cash (Arcades)

October 18: Harvest Festival at Green Meadow Farm

One of Green Meadow's most popular events. There’ll be great music from Back Eddy Bluegrass plus Hayrides and the Farm's animals will certainly provide entertainment as well!

Lunch: The safe bet is to bring your own, though there is food for sale. If you plan on picking pumpkins or the like I would bring an extra 10 spot to be safe.
