Join us for our first Tales on Trails: Pawpaws and Pints  set for September 13th from 1 - 5 p.m. and discover North America’s largest native fruit and its connection to Blandy. This festive fall event will include interactive stations to learn more about this quirky Appalachian fruit. You can also join a naturalist on an expedition to the budding new Pawpaw Trail and discover the remains of a storied 1940s pawpaw orchard that gave rise to some of the most popular pawpaw cultivars on the market today. Limited tickets are $20 in advance and include one handcrafted Pawpaw Beer (for those 21 and over) from Winchester Brew Works.  

Ticket fees will help support trail improvements and interpretation.  Get your Pawpaws and Pints ticket on Eventbrite now before they sellout.
