There will be a POTLUCK SUPPER on Saturday evening. The main meat will be supplied by ride management. We ask that those wishing to enjoy supper with us provide a side or salad for the table. We are also hoping to have the fire pit flames dancing on Saturday evening after supper/awards for everyone to enjoy.
