We look forward to seeing you this Sunday at Boxx Berry Farm:

6211 Northwest Road, Ferndale, WA 98248 (Google Map)

You are welcome to arrive starting at 4pm. There will be appetizers ready and beer and wine for sale to get you started. We'll have some educational and informational tables to browse and it's wonderful to walk around the farm.

If you are driving out to the farm, as you get close you'll see some signs directing you to the best entrance. The dinner will be held at the back of the property, not near the farm store.

Some of you have pre-purchased tickets for the shuttle service. If your tickets are will-call and you purchased shuttle service, just tell the ticket purchaser's name to your driver. Your driver will have the will-call list available. It looks like there will most likely be some space available for walk-ons. If you did not pre-purchase shuttle service, please have correct change ($5 round trip) for your driver. Please visit the Harvest Dinner event website to learn more about the pick up / drop off locations and the shuttle schedule:

The Boxx Farm is looking gorgeous and they are very excited to have a large group out to the farm to share in the incredible bounty of local food. The event is outdoors, but the dinner seating area is covered. There is also a wonderful fire pit where we'll have a crackling bonfire going to keep you toasty. It goes without saying - but we'll say it anyway - that even if the skies are blue we recommend you dress warmly and for walking on grass. The Gallus Brothers will be playing music for the evening, so prepare to tap your toes and dance.

Now is the time to encourage your friends who haven't yet purchased tickets to do so. Online ticket sales will be available through midnight this Saturday (9/25/10). To purchase online please visit:
