If you are planning on enjoying the full weekend on the Northshore, we would love to see you the night before for an informal welcome night at Woodman's Top Deck. The restaurant below will open for some delicious fried seafood that you can bring upstairs to our private space, where we can mingle and connect before the big day! Please RSVP on the RSVP page to give us a rough idea on headcount, but if your plans change last minute, please know you are more than welcome to come regardless.
