We will celebrate the end of the year with Family Fun Night on Thursday, May 7th from 5:00 pm -6:30 pm. Join us for food trucks (Corndog Co, High Voltage BBQ, Smash Bites & Kona Ice), bounce houses, a pop walk and staff in the dunk tank. The food trucks will accept cash or card. The dunk tank and raffle baskets will accept Venmo or cash. It will be a fun way to wrap up a productive year together!
Have a great weekend,
Dr. Tara Cooper
