Due to Covid there are changes from last year. It all has to be outside, tables will be spaced six feet apart,one family per table. After a family finishes, please give us a minute to change the tablecloth.

Please! Everybody wear face coverings when not eating. Weather is supposed to be great, so make the plans.

See you then!
