Meetup at the Pavilion
We have reserved a pavilion and moved the meetup and picnic to Thompson Field Park. The park is located along the Riverwalk Trail on the river bank, across from the back of the Main Street buildings. The parking lot is large. This is a great location as it is more centrally located and offers more options to do.
