The Lawrence Kansas Monthly Blog

  The following blog entry suggestion came from my friend Stephanie Harsin. So today would be a great time for me to talk about the things I love doing in Lawrence. Okay, here’s the first thing that I wanna talk is the place I enjoy going to in my childhood days. Bloomington Beach I remember back in the day when my family and I got to go swimming at Bloomington Beach right here at Clinton Lake. We got together, got in the water to cool off, and enjoyed a great time there. It was really fun to enjoy in the state of Kansas every Summer.

It all started on a weekend. We are all driving along the edge of town and we first went to Louisburg where we got together and saw the cider mill where they make their organic Louisburg Apple Cider. We took a look around and checked out the pumpkin patch next to the front yard of the barn. I know I said it before, but we're gonna get to the bottom of this. When you go inside, there's a country store that  offers a warm & inviting place to shop for comfort foods or naturally healthy Louisburg Cider. This is where you visit the mill for  fresh-squeezed Apple Cider and delicious cider donuts. Their old- fashioned Apple Cider and fam
