Default Interesting Fruit Show near Chicago

Midwest Fruit Explorers is having their annual Fruit Show at the Chicago Botanic

Garden in Glencoe this weekend Oct 20-21 from 10:00 am to 4:30 pm. This is a
not for profit
group where members are encouraged to grow fruit, berries, and nuts in their
backyards.
On display will be fruit grown by members and a working cider press.
Heritage and unusual apples and cider will be on sale to benefit the club. The
event
is held indoors at Burnstein Hall of the Regenstein Center inside the garden.
There
is no entrance fee to the show, but the Botanic Garden charges for parking
unless
you belong to an associated garden. Check the web site for Midfex at
www.midfex.org for more details.
