We will have a kitchen to cook in and BBQ Grill set up so if there is anything you want to put on the grill, bring it along!! Please let me know what sides you will be bringing.
I will update the event page with a menu for all to see.

BE SURE TO......... Mark you calendars and RSVP, so we
know how many people will be at the event. Geo-dogs are allowed, and encouraged… but they must remain on a leash.
