Rumors!

2010-09-20T18:15:00.000-07:00

We have been hearing some weird rumors recently, and one that keeps coming up is that people will not be allowed to BBQ or bring their own food to the Picnic! Not sure how this rumor came about but that is absolutely false! People are more than welcome to bring their own food and have always been welcome to do so. We just ask that people be considerate and don't litter or throw their BBQ ashes on
