Greetings!

 

Only six days until Newton Trails Presents Harvest Picking at Old Church on Saturday, October 22 at 5 pm.  We're excited and ready to start the fun.  We hope you are as well.  It's going to be another beautiful crisp autumn day outside, and a fantastic evening of old-time music, storytelling, and fellowship inside the hallowed halls of the Old Church in Oxford.  We can't wait to see you there!

In addition to the roster of great performers (see below) and fresh Tex-Mex from Burrito Loco, our sponsors have given us some really nice gifts to auction off as prize packs Saturday night.  Click here for more on that.

To help us plan, please either purchase advance tickets on our website or drop us a line via email with the number of attendees and how many plan to join us before the concert for the Harvest Fiesta served by Burrito Loco.

Happy Trails,

Festivities begin on the grounds of Old Church at 5 pm with a harvest fiesta of fresh Tex-Mex from Burrito Loco, followed by performances inside the venerable old hall starting promptly at 6 pm.  Here's a look back at last year's finale:
