Swan River is giving us a $3 discount per person on the clam bake (lobster). Because we are picking up the food and not having it delivered/catered, there are no additional service fees. And we’re tax exempt, so the price per person is…just that. They will include crackers, cups for drawn butter, bibs/wipes, shell bowls, spoons and cutlery (plastic) for the chowder, etc. I will need to return the crackers the next day.
Sunday:
District Meeting & Cuttings at Cindy & Irwin’s Garden – need to confirm start time. 11am? 10am?
