Welcome Party

11:30 am - 5:30 pm

Happy 4th of July! We will kick off the wedding weekend with a party at the park, including lawn games, etc. There's no better way to hang out than a day in the sun with cold drinks in hand and a little friendly competition. Lunch and some cold non-alcoholic drinks will be provided. Please bring your own alcoholic beverages if you'd like them, but keep in mind that there is NO GLASS ALLOWED at the park. Welcome party schedule is subject to change.
