Fall Arts Festival
Post Fall Arts Fest Hang-Out
I will be hosting a post-Fall Arts Fest hang out on Saturday, October 24th. Whether you are attending, volunteering, or neither, feel free to stop by! We will start around 5:30ish (depending on how clean-up goes). There will be snacks and we will fire up our grill one last time and cook some veggies, hamburgers, veggie burgers, and hot dogs. There also may be some Halloween candy because why not? I will also have some bottles of wine, beer, and both fizzy and regular water, but feel free to bring other drinks if there is something that you want specifically.
If you are planning to come, RSVP so I can figure out how much food to get. Feel free to invite a friend, family members(including kids) or significant other!
Once you get to my place, instead of ringing the buzzer, come around the side alley on the right-hand side of the house to the backyard.
