Combine a nature walk along the Military Ridge Trail with socialization at the Sow’s Ear in Verona. The trail is a flat, graveled surface for the 1.1-mile walk to and from a coffeehouse that combines the charm of a cozy café with the creativity of a yarn shop The Park and Ride at the intersection of Highway 151 and Old PB is the launching point. (From Highway 18/151 toward Verona, take Exit 81—the same exit as for Festival Foods—and turn south on Old PB.) We’ll meet at the Park-and-Ride at 9:00 on Tuesday, June 11, then walk to the Sow’s Ear for er-energizing. Marchelle Mertens will lead the group.
