Check back 5/14/2016 for the registration link.
How can I register?
This is odd. That event isn't listed on the events registration site. I don't know what's going on. Maybe somebody forgot to notify everybody when the event was canceled? Maybe nobody remembered to tell somebody to set up the registration process? I don't know...Quote:

Catoctin Mountain Orchard in Thurmont, Va.* www.catoctinmountainorchard.com* We have been here so many times do I really need to repeat myself.* A few of us have been known to leave CMO w/ 12+ pies.* CMO is a mom & pop operation specializing in homemade pies,* either baked or frozen.* They also have fresh fruits, preserves, jams, jellies, dressings and cider and BLAH, BLAH, BLAH.** YOU MUST TRY THE APPLE CIDER!!!
Note: *I highly recommend ordering your pies ahead of time since we are a large group.* The pies can be ordered freshly baked or frozen.* Some people do bring a cooler with them to keep their pies from sliding around in the trunk, especially since we have a lot more fun driving to do.* When you place your order, reference the "BMW group".* The pies range in price from $8.95-$10.95. Check their site for the different types of pie.
IMPORTANT:* The deadline for calling or emailing orders for pies is Thursday, November 17th.* Popular pies I like:* Apple Walnut, Strawberry, Cherry Crumb, Peach, Peach Blueberry, Blueberry, Four Berry.
Next stop, Wilson Farms Meat Co., they have been a family run business for 58 years.** They sell every part of the cow, lamb and pig.* All meats are cut to order.* This is a great opportunity to pick up some great aged meat for the holidays.* Maya, the owner, is a joy to deal with and is quick witted.* Don’t take her jabs seriously, she is only joking.*
Wilson's is a CASH ONLY business.* No checks are accepted unless you are an established customer.* It is highly recommended that you place your order in advance, especially if you want a custom cut.* The store front is quite small and they will keep things moving.* The meat will be packaged individually wrapped and then boxed tied with butcher’s string.* You will definitely need to bring a cooler.* We will pass plenty of places to pick up ice.* There is also a place at the Exxon station about a 1/2 mile before we get to Wilson's to pick up ice.* The cut off date for ordering is November 17th.* I will send order form via email if you contact me: alivingston@nccbmwcca.org

Lunch is a pie run favorite, The Bavarian Chef, it has been operated continuously by the Thalwitz family since its opening in 1974. *Its cuisine is distinctively German and all the food is prepared onsite using Thalwitz recipes. *Its recipes are sought after, but can only be discovered with the senses.* When Eckhard and Bruni Thalwitz opened the Bavarian Chef in 1974, it quickly became a local favorite, renowned for its incredible portions of authentic German food and warm hospitality. *
The menu for our group will be fixed with beef, chicken, pork and fish entree options, assorted sides, dessert and drinks (non-alcoholic) for $37/person including tax and gratuity.* They give you so much food that you are sure to take home a doggie bag! *http://www.thebavarianchef.com

From lunch, you can head to Potomac Point Vineyard & Winery in Stafford, VA. which is about 15 minutes north of The Bavarian Chef.* The tastings are*$7.00
