Time For Some Fun! Join Midway Farms for Sangria Sunday tomorrow from noon-6pm. This is a Celiac Safe event.
Nothing is better than a pepper roasted over apple wood, except a pepper roasted over apple wood while drinking a fresh fruit sangria. Non-alcoholic sangria will also be available.
Enjoy the unique setting in Midway Farms’ spectacular garden. Bring your friends or come alone. You’ll find a hang-out at the pavilion or under the amazing grape arbor. Maybe wander the garden, toss a blanket under a quince tree and kick back.
All weekend they will be featuring an Aurora Colony Vineyards wine selection presented by the winemaker. Wine until 6pm!

This 295 mile bike ride begins and ends right here in Albany! Do you crave the wide-open landscape, the silky-smooth single lane roads, the forested canopies, the soundtrack of a river as you pedal along, those postcard worthy views, and those friendships made and nurtured. Then what you want is the Classic!
The amount of geographical wonder packed into the 295 by 395-mile rectangle we call Oregon is unparalleled. And for over 30 years Cycle Oregon has been exposing you to the sights, sounds and people of this wonderland. And still, there are roads and communities we have yet to experience – until now. This year, we’re taking you on an all-new adventure, with new routes, new communities, and new experiences.
You can read more and register for the event on the Cycle Oregon website.
