--photo by Derek Lakin
It's Fall and the leaves are changing. What better time to hold our next meetup Sunday, October 23 than at
Shady Hill Gardens and Corn Maze
42W075 Route 38
Elburn, Illinois
630-365-5665
$6.00 for adults
$4.00 for kids
Parking is free.
Meetup time is 11:30 am. We'll wait for everyone until 12 noon and then head out to get lost in the maze and take some photos.
Shady Hill is on Route 38, just two miles west of Route 47.
FROM CHICAGO:
I-90 west, past Elgin. Take the Route 47 exit, turn left. Take Rt. 47 all the way south to Elburn, turn left at Route 38 and go two miles. Watch for the driveway, the greenhouse is a large glass conservatory building.
FROM ROCKFORD:
I-39 south out of Rockford, to the Route 38 exit. Turn left, heading west to Elburn. It's two miles east of Route 47.
Pack a lunch or have a big breakfast. The only places to eat closeby are a Pizza Hut and a McDonald's. However, it is within striking distance of St. Charles.
Many thanks to Suzanne aka The Farmer's Wife for helping organize this event.

Chicago Photobloggers @ Air & Water Show
The next Chicago Photobloggers meetup and shootout will be held Sunday, August 21, 2005 at 9 am at the Chicago Air and Water Show. We'll meet up at the Starbucks inside the lounge of the Westin Hotel at 909 N. Michigan Avenue right across from the John Hancock Center. Bring broad brimmed hats and plenty of sunblock -- not to mention your cameras. It's always a great street and people photography extravaganza -- oh, and the planes are interesting, too, as well!
