Trip Plans

Hi guys! It's Kerry, pretending to be Dani. Following are all the plans Mike and I have worked on. Please reply to this post with your full name, so we can keep track of who has responded, and the numbers corresponding to which trips you are planning on joining us for (so, for example, since I am going on all three trips, my post could just be "Kerry Pinnisi 1 2 3". If I only wanted to go on the Johnson trip, my post would look like "Kerry Pinnisi 2" - although you can write more than that if you like). Here are the trips:

1. Saturday the 22nd, 11:00 to 1:00 pm, meeting in front of Hood in the upper quads at 11. We will be going to the Ithaca Farmer's Market, a great place where you can buy tasty local produce, handmade art and jewelry, eat food, and lots of other sweet stuff. It's an outdoor market by the lake, so it's a really beautiful and peaceful place. I have room in my car for 4. Mike might not have a car, so if more than four people are interested, we can talk about it.

2. Sunday the 23, from 2 to 4, meeting at 2 in front of Hood. We are going to the Johnson museum to see the sand mandala. I believe I've already spoken with as many people as I have room for in my car, but if you are also interested, speak up and we will try to figure out another form of transportation.

The MS Benefit concert, sponsored by D.A.N. is also that day, from 2 to 5 in IC Square (aka the pub). Since most of you will not be going on the Johnson trip, swing by and support Mike/D.A.N.!


3. Apple Fest! Saturday the 29, 1 to whenever people feel like leaving, meeting at 1 in front of the metal horse statue (you'll see it) at the State Street pavillion. If you get lost, ask people to point you towards Evolution (a great local clothing store right next to the pavillion. It that has a lot of good alternative type styles for pretty cheap, you should check it out). Lots of extremely tasty apple-related foods will be for sale, as well as other things (I recommend checking out the apple dumplings from the Amish stand - they're so good my mom and I made a tradition out of it, we share one every year.) It will be crowded. Bring money, there will be lots of good stuff for sale (food, crafts - it's a good time to stock up on presents for people). You will also be able to see what the local population is like en masse. Also, all the stores on the Commons will be open (ask me where the good spots are!). People are arranging their own transportation for this.

That's all so far! I am excited, hope you are too. Please let me know as soon as possible if you are coming.

Question: We are going to meet at the metal horse statue but we don't have to parade around the commons in a large group, correct? We decided we are going to split up after meeting?

Kerry,
Glad you thought the apple fest would be a good idea. I know that people will like it and it will really show everyone here about Ithaca, the culture and the people.

i have a question, i'm definitely planning on going to the apple fest, are we allowed to bring friends or is it strictly for our seminar class only, i didnt think it would matter since we are splitting off into groups, but i wanted to ask just to make sure, thanks!
