On Wednesday, April 30, from 11:00 AM-7:30 PM Good 2 Go is partnering with the FA Archery Club to sponsor a special No-Cook Night event!

Join us for an evening of food, fun, and community as we prepare for the National archery tournament and show our support for the FA Archery Club. It's a great opportunity to enjoy a night off from cooking while backing a group that promotes the sport of archery in our community.

If you are interested in helping drive and deliver food please let me know!

Don’t miss out—we hope to see you there!
