I have no first hand knowledge but they have quite a selection. Quite a 
dew microbreweries sprung up and these people decided to try cider. I've 
walked by and it does seem to attract a crowd but not quite as much as the 
breweries. 

It's a little more authentic than a couple of attempts at wineries. Grapes 
don't do well here so most of the grapes are imported with a few locally 
grown grapes thrown in. One woman was honest enough to make wine from 
stuff that does grow locally like rhubarb. No idea about that wither.

One of our people was returning from lunch and took a photo of a bear 
crossing at a 4-way stop at the corner of our parking lot. The bear seemed 
to have a destination although the next street in the direction he was 
headed was a major thoroughfare where all the big box stores and fast food 
places live. Maybe he wanted a taco or maybe he didn't get the memo. 30 
years ago that street was a two lane road at the edge of town.
