AUTUMN ADVENTURES BUS TOUR

One of the best things I have done in recent years is take many of the Amazing 100 Miles bus tours arranged by Marilyn Hellmer of Lincoln. There are few places they go now where I haven't already been or I'd go again.

There is one scheduled for October 24th starting at the Midland Hotel in Wilson with a breakfast buffet and tour of the building. Some of the tour members will be staying at the Midland the night before. Rooms start at $59.00. While in Wilson, they will tour the Opera House and Ollie's Treasures, Sincerely Yours, Czech Cottages, etc.

They will come to Ellsworth to tour the Antique Mall Underground, and probably the upstairs too. There will be time for coffee at the Roehrman's Espresso Shop.

The next stop will be the AmericInn in Russell, Fossil Station Mesquite Grill for lunch then it's on to Natoma, the only tour stop I haven't made. They will visit the Natoma Church, Little Town Treasures, Times Past, the Thrift Shop and Cafe.

Heading back this way they will stop at Beckie Thaemert's Stone Cottage Farm B & B, Antique Shop, and Hunter's Quarters in the Grain Bin.

The last stop before returning to Wilson will be Granny Mae's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch near Dorrance.

The tour starts at 8:00 a.m. and ends at 5:40 p.m. The cost is $45 but the breakfast buffet at the Midland is extra.

You can check out the details of the tour and make reservations by calling Marilyn at 785.524.5133.
