I'm sorry I'm late!!  I thought I remembered Bill talking to you indicating our interest Ellen.  But I'm not sure.  We would like to bring Virginia and David.  Just wanted to make sure.  That's all.  I think this sounds like a BLAST!!!

>>
>> A Few Simple Rules...
>> Please no pets, smoking, or alcohol allowed on the farm.
>> Accessibility:
>> We are a real working farm with some rolling hills and unpaved, uneven
>> surfaced paths. Strollers and wagons can be brought on premises but the
>> ground (like any farm) can be bumpy in spots.
>> Restrooms:
>> There are porta potties on site.
>> Food and Beverages:
>> On weekends, no food or drinks are allowed to be brought onto the farm.
>> Food and baked goods are for sale at our Barnyard Grill and The Sweet
>> Shoppe. No alcohol is allowed on the farm at any time.
>> Weather:
>> We strive to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for all our guest.
>> If it is raining or our farm is muddy we are usually closed. The decision
>> to be open or closed is on a day-by-day basis depending upon the
>> conditions at the farm. An announcement regarding any weather closure
>> will be recorded on our Farm Hotline and posted here online.
>> Attire:
>> Because we operate in September and October, we recommend being prepared
>> for cool weather. We also recommend wearing closed-toe shoes or sneakers.
>> Remember that you will be in a farm atmosphere and should dress
>> appropriately for the best experience.
>> Busy Times:
>> Keep in mind that weekends are our busiest times. You may want to plan to
>> visit the farm on weekdays from 3 - 7 pm or on weekends between 10 am -
>> 12 pm if you are looking for a smaller crowd.
>> Farm Barynard:
>> We ask that you do not eat while in the barnyard. Please use hand
>> santizer or our portable handwashing station before leaving the barnyard
>> area, and only feed the food provided in our coin operated dispensers
>> because our animals are on a special diet.
>> Corn Maze:
>> Please don't throw or pick the corn. We ask that you don't run in the
>> corn maze and stay on the paths. Remember, smoking is not allowed on
>> the farm at all.
