These will be free giveaways to those participating in activities at the event. Any monetary donations received will be used to purchase day trip opportunities and other family night activities such as board games. Please consider making a raffle donation if you are able.
Community organizations that provide services to families and children are invited to set up a table at the event space. Tables are “farmer’s market style”. Each organization is responsible for their own table, tent, chairs, and materials/activities. We’d love to have your organization represented!
