You're Invited: Golfers After Hours
Not a golfer but looking for an opportunity to check out the course and see what a tournament is like? Join us for beverages, appetizers, and socializing as the Golf Classic wraps up. The event will take place outdoors in the lawn by the Eagle's Nest near the 18th hole. In the event of inclement weather the event will be moved indoors in the banquet room. The cost to participate is a business card and $2. Registration is requested by July 29th. Golfers will receive a voucher to attend the event at no cost but are asked to register as well as sponsors. Door prizes will be drawn at 6:15pm - must be present to win.
