Did you ever open in Oklahoma? I miss being able to visit.
It is so beautiful and nostalgic. When I was a young boy growing up in Banning, Oak Glenn was a seasoned part of celebrating Fall. My sister Tammy’s birthday falls on October 31st, Halloween. Every year my mother threw a Halloween party for her and all the kids in the neighborhood. Part of preparing for that event was always a visit to Oak Glenn for apples and cider and of course a pumpkin or 2. As I grew older and moved to Oklahoma, I always thought of those wonderful visits to the apple orchards. I shared those memories with new friends and family 1300 miles from the orchards. I am 65 now and have been back in Cali for 40 years (Hemet). I have made Oak Glenn and Riley’s Farm a part of my family’s Fall tradition as we celebrate apple season and continue the legacy of my wonderful mother.
My family was there today and it’s as beautiful as ever – we are coming, as usual for several of your shows!
