Cara Snitkiss, Leader

Join us on Sunday, October 5th at 1pm for a fun-filled, kid-friendly hike at the Rock Mill Preserve. Kids will enjoy walking the easy, 1-mile loop trail while learning about the plants and animals in the preserve through fun activities. The hike will be led by a local Girl Scout who will also be “unveiling” the interpretive signs she made for the park as a part of her Gold Award project. Kids and parents are encouraged to bring reusable water bottles and wear appropriate shoes. Snacks will be provided.

Registration isn’t necessary but you can let us know you’re coming by signing up on the Google+ event page.

Villa Milagro Vineyards

Steve and Audrey Gambino are the backbone of Villa Milagro, together producing their incredible wines from vine to bottle.  Steve wrangles with machinery and vineyard maintenance.  Audrey acts as field hand and wine maker, using her degree in nutrition and wine-making to tease out the best from the grapes.  Their belief that the land should be conserved for future generations means that hard work, not pesticides, is the order of the day.In his copious spare time, Steve runs Business Network International (BNI), a real estate and commercial finance company, where he is the Director for northern New Jersey and northeast Pennsylvania.  Dr. Audrey is his match as an author, a former television host, respected nutritionist, and blogger.Villa Milagro offers several wonderful white and red wines which are available for tasting at our farmers market.  Located in beautiful Finesville,  they welcome visitors to their vineyard and invite you to take advantage of their wine tasting classes, cooking classes, and occasional dinners with the proprietors.  They are open weekends for tastings and sales.  Learn more about them and their latest events by visiting their website:  www.villamilagrovineyards.com.
