Our final night is tonight so that means take-down starts tomorrow! We know it's Mother's Day but the lights need to come down and with enough help, maybe we ALL can celebrate Mother's Day with loved ones! We're starting at 9am, breaking from 12-1 and go until 4pm--find us at the trailers near the swayback or call to find where we're working. Even an hour of your time is a tremendous help--we can accomplish a lot so come join the crew for whatever time you can contribute! Come out tonight for one last time to catch the lights in the dark!
Be sure to come Friday for the LSIC drum group and dancers and Saturday for the Redwood Valley Drumline and get walking tacos from the Cansayapi Girls Basketball food stand and treats from Sweet Kettle Madness!
