“These talented performers are great to enjoy on a summer evening relaxing outdoors on the patio with a beautiful view of Mt. Baker or staying inside with a glass of beer, wine or hard cider,” said Eric Abel, president of Bellewood Farms. “Young children can play outside within sight of parents and everyone can start the weekend with delicious dinners and desserts at the Ten Mile Café.”
