Library helps kick off cider mill season

Michigan is home to more than a hundred cider mills. Spread across the state, these independently owned, local businesses celebrate the best the fall harvest provides. Local writer and cider mill enthusiast, Michael Dwyer, will discuss these local cider mills on Tuesday, Sept. 9, at 7 p.m. at the Rochester Hills Public Library. Farm fresh produce, honey, baked goods, and old-fashioned candies are just some of the local treats visitors come to enjoy. However, the fresh-pressed cider and warm donuts are why flocks of people return to cider mills every September and October. The Rochester area is fortunate to have five cider mills in our community, each one offering the visitor a difference experience. Dwyer will highlight these local treasures to make the most of your visit. A cider tasting will conclude the evening. Registration is required and open to those with a Rochester Hills Public library card. To register go to the Events Calendar at www.rhpl.org or call 248-656-2900. The Rochester Hills Public Library is located in downtown Rochester, two blocks east of Main Street off of University Drive on Olde Towne Road. For additional information, call 248-650-7124.
