I just got a message from Charlie and Carol Ossell, proprietors of Deer Lake Orchard, and we are invited back for the 3rd Annual DMC Apple Run at the orchard. This annual event has caught on with the locals and it draws a bit of a crowd checking out the cars. The date is Sunday, Sept 15th. As per usual there will be: - Great apples - Lots of Deloreans - Great weather - Free entertainment - Wagon rides - Food - Great company - and a variety of other things I propose that we get together at the orchard noon'ish and that we have dinner at a place yet to be determined. For those who will be coming from the cities, a caravan is a nice touch.
