Hey all! Tomorrow's event is happening rain or shine! It looks like the rain should be pretty tame by party time, but if things shift we will move the event inside so you can still enjoy everything! We encourage attendees to bring chairs if they'd like seating. We will have blankets to throw down and picnic on outside. If the event does move indoors tables and chairs will be set so your lawn chairs can stay in your cars.
