Eshleman’s Family Day a success on Sunday
Family Days at Eshleman’s Fruit Farm on Sunday was very busy.
The rain and wind Saturday forced children’s games and a barbecue to be moved inside a warehouse where there was plenty of room for a bike track, inflatable gamehouse, cornhole and a ball target.
Sunny weather on Sunday found the parking lot overflowing. The sales room was crowded with shoppers buying fresh produce, checking out the craft show and bake sale, or enjoying a complimentary taste of cider and doughnuts. Outside, families waited in line for wagon rides to the orchards to pick apples.
