It’s our annual summer event where we will see old friends and meet new faces! Rides and eating tasty food, two great things put together in one place. Because the shelters we normally reserve were already booked for the middle of August, we had to move it to earlier in the month. Note: In the event of inclement weather, this event will be cancelled with no alternative date. Here’s hoping that we have a dry day!
