Other Notes
***PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A LATE AFTERNOON
"MINI EVENT" - just 2 splashes a day (and only 1 AR) ***
Join us for a late afternoon/early evening event to beat the summer heat and kickoff the 2026 NADD Season!!!!!
We will most likely be running well ahead of schedule like we usually are, I'd estimate the 6:30pm to start closer to 5:45-6pm. We have lights as well as it starts to get dusky, so no worries about losing daylight either.
