We’re going to be stacking firewood even if the weather is cold, but will postpone if there’s snow. Inclement weather date TBD.
Space is limited, adults only. Please sign up only if you are serious about attending and plan to attend for the full time. If anything comes up and you need to cancel, let us know ASAP, so that we may fill your spot. We’ve had a problem with last minute cancellations – don’t be that person!
