The program will begin at approximately 6:30, so please bring your supper and chairs to enjoy a picnic beforehand. (And while the dining car will not be open, member Suzanne “Heidi” McMurran has loaned us her ice cream maker for the picnic, so bring your favorite topping and enjoy a sample of homemade vanilla ice cream!)
