We are also collecting clothing and non-perishable food donations for the Ronald McDonald house.

PLEASE mark your dish "Vegan", "Vegetarian" or "Meat" and make sure you LABEL AND LIST all ingredients Due to possible allergies so others can know what they're eating.

Items you may want to bring: A chair or blanket for the ground so you can relax; an instrument such as drums, rattles, or guitar for the drum circle; your potluck dish; water to stay hydrated; Sun block and bug spray, and a sense of fun and community!

It is safe for washing, and the restroom facilities are open. However, we recommend bringing your own water. We will have bottled water provided, but supply is limited. Remember, it is always important to stay HYDRATED!
