Live music is a big part of the weekend fun at Pine Tree Orchard. The list of performers include, "The Flyers," a husband and wife team who play many of their own tunes written especially for children. From the Renaissance Festival to Pine Tree Orchard is
the route the "Elizabethan Syngers" will be taking in October.
Resplendent in their regal costumes, the group performs music of the ancient troubadours and balladeers. In
addition to all of the music there is a quilting exhibition, the "Run
or Walk for the Apples", and pony rides for the kids. You can also take a wagon ride through the orchard, walk to the pumpkin patch or the corn maze. There is something for everyone!
