If you are not in Miami County you are in wrong place this weekend

It is fall everywhere, but nowhere more so than Miami County! There are so many things to do here. I was just reading about all of the events coming up. This is the best value for families this coming weekend.

You can visit our friends Mike and Dee Martin, and their EMU ranch, 4 D acres. It is at 13096 West 287th St. from 10 to 4. Earlier this year, Jasper made an Emu omelete that you would not believe, at the Miami County Farm Tour. He had so many herbs in it ,we had to call an ambulance, people were fainting so fast!! :-)

Call Mike and Dee at 887-837-4119. This is a free visit.

Also, be sure to check out Leland Prothe,"The King Of Pecans". Jasper candied some of his pecans, and people just kept asking for more. Leland is at 33850 Victory Road.

913-849-3358. Just come by and visit. It is free. Buy some pecans, and support our local growers.

Next on the list is the Louisburg Cidermill, on Highway 68. There is no gate charge, but you will not stop eating the applecider donuts!! They are wonderful! There are too many things for kids to do there to mention. A great family time!

Then be sure to visit the Somerset Ridge Winery, take a nice slow tour of the vines. Cindy and Dennis are the best, enjoy the German fest. Check them out at http://www.somersetridge.com/

If you get any time after all of that, come by Casa Somerset, 16315 west 287th st. See the building progress. We are usually there on Sundays.
