Drive Your Porsche Day and Apple Picking

Drive Your Porsche Day & Apple Picking event on Sunday, September 20th, in celebration of Ferry Porsche's 100th birthday. Gather at Porsche dealer, Burlington, MA at 9:30AM for birthday pictures, lunch & apples at Bolton Orchards, and ice cream/car show at Kimball Farm, Westford, MA.

We will meet at the new Porsche dealer at the I-95/128 Exit 33B in Burlington at 9:30AM. We'll stage the cars and take some pictures for the Registry contest; we have a few gimmicks up our sleeve for uniqueness.

We'll leave the dealer's by 11AM and cruise on mostly back roads the 28 miles to Bolton Orchards. We should arrive no later than noon and will have reserved parking. Bolton Orchards is a large operation with their own 250 acre farm, orchards, greenhouse and country store. The store has a deli, bakery, gift items and sells fresh produce, fruits and vegetables. We'll be having lunch on outside picnic tables here, the attendees ordering sandwiches in advance. Here's the apple picking part: they pick about 10 varieties from their orchards which are at the store in large wooden crates. You get a bag and "pick" them from the crates and pay by the pound. This is "lazy man" picking!

We'll leave Bolton Orchards no later than 1:30PM to drive on an unbelievable back road for part of the 12.5 miles to Kimball Farm in Westford. What better way to end a birthday celebration than with an ice cream! There's a BIG added attraction here. We must arrive by 2PM to participate in a Car Show sponsored by the Littleton Rotary Club, that runs from 11AM-3PM. We will parade by the stand, be introduced and then park in a reserved area. We can then enjoy looking at the cars, and vice-versa, make a sundae and visit the other areas at Kimball's.

This will wind-up our event and you can depart on your own. An entrance to I-495 is a short distance away.

Here's the important part!! If you will be attending this event, I will need your response ASAP! E-mail me at lencann@typ356ne.org. We need this info to know how many cars to expect at the Porsche Dealer and, perhaps more importantly, the attendee list will be used later for ordering lunch in advance. Otherwise, you'll have to wait in line to order!

Finally, as the event is birthday specific and we have following events scheduled, there will be no Rain Date in case of bad weather.
