Editor's Note: The following news release is from Oxford Parks and Recreation Director Debbie Gatto.

Oxford Parks and Recreation is proud to offer two great trips in the fall.

The first trip is to Provincetown, Cape Cod and will leave from the Stephen B. Church Memorial Town Hall in Oxford on Friday, Sept. 23 and return on Sunday, Sept. 25. Provincetown is a wonderful tourist/fishing/artist village at the very tip of Cape Cod.

We will be staying at the historic Provincetown Inn at the end of the Kings Highway. The Inn, originally built in 1925 is noted for its gracious hospitality and will be serving us a lovely continental breakfast each morning. Upon arrival, we will enjoy a “Dunes” tour of the area on board 4 wheel drive vehicles, ending the tour with a real Cape Cod Lobsterbake on the beach. We will be going out on a whale watch on Saturday afternoon. You will have plenty of leisure time to shop and sight see in this beautiful village.

The cost of this trip is $440 pp/dbl, $426 pp/trpl and includes the round trip motorcoach transportation, all the tours and meals as shown as well as all gratuities, taxes and fees.

We are going to Niagara Falls from Oct. 8th to Oct. 10, Saturday to Monday, Columbus Day weekend. This trip includes transportation on an air-conditioned motorcoach, two nights stay at the Sheraton Falls View on the Canadian Side, two full breakfasts, one dinner overlooking the falls, The Maid of the Mist Tour, guided tour of the area including the Botanical Gardens with a stop at the Fallsview Casino and plenty of free time in Niagara to enjoy this spectacular modern wonder on your own, as well as free time in Niagara-on-the-Lake, and driver gratuity.
