Starting at 7:00 p.m., writer and local cider enthusiast Michael Dwyer will speak on the variety of cider mills throughout the state. Concluding the event will be a cider tasting.

Michigan’s river system and climate make it ideal for cider mills and the beautiful landscape has only helped their popularity.
The presentation will highlight the Rochester Area cider mills, including Yates, Goodison, Paint Creek, Rochester, and Middleton.
“The fresh-pressed cider and warm donuts keep people coming back to our cider mills every September and October, keeping the apple industry a thriving part of Michigan’s economy,” says Community Relations Specialist Amanda Harrison Keighley.
Registration is available online for this event at calendar.rhpl.org. Sign up in advance as space will be limited.
