Peach Garden Trip

Peace to everyone,
Originally, the fellowship planned to go peach picking on Saturday, July 26, but due to a spring freeze this year, the peach harvest was poor and the orchard has no peaches for picking. :-( Therefore, we have changed the activity to visit Leesylvania State Park, which we had originally planned to go to at the end of May but was canceled due to rain. Below is the event announcement — please bring your whole family to enjoy the outdoors and get to know each other better in nature. Everyone is also encouraged to invite friends — the more, the merrier!

Leesylvania State Park is a picturesque state park located in Prince William County, VA, situated along the tidal Potomac River, about 25 miles from Washington, D.C. The park covers about 556 acres, with rich natural scenery and historic sites, making it an ideal place for hiking, wildlife observation, fishing, and boating.
