Overreacting on Green Bluff

Tue., May 13, 2014

I’m confused as to what the big deal is about fighting off the idea of weddings, graduations, etc., up in Green Bluff. They don’t want too much traffic or congestion?

We go there during apple harvest and Christmas. I’ve sat patiently in my car for up to 20 minutes while waiting for cars to ease into the tree farm they want or the particular farm that has the person’s favorite apple.

Let’s see, Christmas season lasts how long? Apple season lasts how long? A wedding and reception lasts hours.

Good grief!
