GRAACA Fall Tour
—Saturday, October 17, 2026, Carlisle, PA
Hello everyone! Angelica and I will be hosting the fall tour this year. It will be a bit of a different tour for us, but it should be lots of fun for everyone involved. Deadline to sign up is October 10th.
For this tour we’ll be starting at Middlesex Township Park, 50 Beagle Club Rd, Carlisle, PA 17013 at 8:30 am on Saturday, October 17th for donuts and coffee. From there we’ll take a leisurely drive up through Perry County and then back down the river, where we’ll spend the day shopping. Angelica and I plan to take the club on a “go at your own pace” tour around some of our favorite local spots for books, antiques, plants, and much more. Then we will all meet back up for a late lunch (2 pm) at Evergrain Brewing Company in Camp Hill, where we will order on our own off of their menu.
Please note that the space we have reserved at Evergrain is only for 35 people, so we have a soft limit on lunch. Any more than 35 are welcome to come on the tour, but you’ll have to be on your own for lunch. The tour will be $12 per person, and we’ll reduce the price for anyone who signs up after we’ve filled the 35-person limit for lunch. At last count we still have 15 spots available for lunch. Thanks, and we hope to see you there.
Registration form in this issue. Questions: call Dan Hocker (717) 343-0077.
