You are welcome to bring your own food and beverage (BYOB), or buy delicious food from our vendors and snack bar. Small barbeque grills permitted also. Bring LAWN CHAIRS (very important), hats, sunscreen, blankets, a jacket or sweater (it gets cool in the evening) and a boombox style radio with fresh batteries (for the movie sound). We will have a water misting station to help keep cool during the day. No glass bottles, no fireworks and no pets, please. BE GOOD OR BE GONE.
