Warren County Wanderings

Starting September 12, 2018

"'Tis the last rose of summer, Left blooming alone; All her lovely companions Are faded and gone." -  Thomas Moore, The Last Rose of Summer, 1830

Technically it's still summer, but the chilly air has us doubting that for the moment. And the plethora of autumn planter workshops and plant sales this weekend has us thinking about the next season.  Also, this year's Explore Warren Fall Farm Fun guide is ready for your perusal. We look forward, but we cast an eye back as well, with history events like Millbrook Days and Warren County's annual Preservation Day. Speaking of history, your chance to be at Centenary Stage Company's Curtain Up! season opener with Paula Poundstone has slipped away - it's sold out! But you can see all the season's offerings at CSC by clicking here. Happy Wanderings!
