Cedar Mill Cider Festival October 17, 2010, 1-4 pm!
at the John Quincy Adams Young House
12050 NW Cornell Road (NW Cornell Rd. near NW 119th)
Fun for the whole family on a fall afternoon! Enjoy traditional music with Gumbo, a nationally known trio from Corvallis, Oregon that features original songs and classic favorites on guitar, banjo, clarinet, flute and bass. Upbeat and joyous music performed by veteran musicians with a touch of zydeco, a touch of '60s, a touch of old-time southern swing.
See how the pioneers made cider with antique, hand-cranked presses, and sample some FREE fresh cider. Enjoy real BBQ sandwiches and hot dogs, plus apple crisp and ice cream. And find out more about Cedar Mill history and the plans for our historic JQA Young House. Area Boy Scouts run the antique apple presses to turn 600 pounds of apples into delicious sweet fresh cider.
Local award-winning barbecue team Burnt Ends BBQ will be on site serving BBQ sandwiches of pulled pork, chicken or chopped beef brisket. Hot dogs, cole slaw and chips will also be on the menu. Cedar Mill's Leedy Grange will serve freshly made apple crisp and vanilla ice cream for $3. Plenty of tables are set up for you to enjoy your meal with your friends and neighbors.
Tualatin Hills Park & Recreation District (THPRD) will bring the RecMobile to provide games and activities for kids under the spreading hickory tree. Other community groups and businesses will be providing information about their activities, along with craft merchants from Cedar Mill's Farmers' Market. And members of the Friends of the JQA Young House will be on hand with information about the house and plans to restore it.
Plenty of free parking at the Cedar Mill Bible Church lot 12208 NW Cornell Rd., Portland, OR 97229
