SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 2020
11 AM – 4PM

This marks our 8th annual “Old Fashioned Cider Tasting” event at the Mill! All proceeds benefit the restoration of the Kimlin Cider Mill.

In response to COVID-19, we made changes to our event this year. Only sweet ciders are offered, available in pre-packaged to-go sample packs. The raffle is an online auction. 50 attendees are allowed on-site at any time, and therefore the hours of the event are extended. Face coverings required, hand sanitizer available throughout the area, and communal areas will be regularly cleaned.
