We are very excited for the Field Trip to Sleepy Cat Farm in Greenwich, Connecticut. This trip is an all-day trip, leaving at 8 am and returning around 6:30 pm. The trip is not handicap accessible, as the land can be rocky at the Farm. Masks must be worn on the bus and proof of vaccination is required to get on the bus. The cost of the trip is $89 and includes the bus ride, Sleepy Cat Farm, lunch, and tip to the bus driver. The trip has a maximum of 40 people. After April 10, we will open the trip to non-members, if it has not sold out. The bus will stop mid-way both ways to stretch and have a bathroom break. The day is planned out to have the tour, go to lunch at The Spotted Horse Tavern in Westport and visit the wonder shop of Terrain in Westport before heading back to West Hartford.
The bus will be leaving from the commuter lot across from Target by Route 9 at 8 am. Please call Billie Reese (860 841-2457) or Charlotte Massie (860 280-6802) if you have additional questions. Masks must be worn on the bus and proof of vaccination is required to get on the bus.
- Sign up and mail your check to Billie Reese at 82 Foxridge Road, West Hartford. Make your check out to “Friendship Tours” for $89. Your place on the bus will not be reserved until we have your check.
