Autumn Edibles tour

Info showed up today about an interesting Autumn Edibles tour thru the parks on Sept. 24. I'm passing along the press release verbatim. Sounds cool, though it sounds like the edibles are restricted to maple syrup and honey. Does this interest anyone? Does $49.50 sound a bit steep? I'd love to hear if anyone goes. It's the first I've heard of an excursion quite like this:

"Where better can you taste the wonderful flavors of fall than during the Autumn Edibles Bus Tour on Monday, September 24. Adults can take a journey celebrating the fall harvest with a tasting of maple syrup, honey straight from the hive and enjoy other fun fall activities!

"The day-long tour will begin at 7:30 a.m. at Farbach-Werner Nature Preserve with a delicious continental breakfast. During that time, Naturalists will share with guests the interesting history of making maple syrup. The tour will then travel to Parky’s Farm where guests can take part in walking and wagon tours on the farm, followed by a lesson about honey bees and a chance to taste the result of their work! Guests will have lunch at the farm before traveling to Withrow Nature Preserve, where they will participate in and learn about the harvest of local trees. The tour will then wrap up with its return to Farbach-Werner Nature Preserve by 4:30 p.m. that afternoon.

"The cost for the Autumn Edibles Bus Tour is $49.50 per person. Those interested may register online at GreatParks.org by September 14 or by mailing in the form located inside the Evergreen, the Park Districts’ event guide. The Evergreen can be found at any Park District Visitor Center or can be received through mail by signing up at GreatParks.org. A valid Hamilton County Park District Motor Vehicle Permit ($5 annual; $2 daily) is required to enter the parks. For additional information, call (513) 521-7275 ext. 240 or visit GreatPark.org.
