You bring
Your own food to grill or food that has already been cooked. Blankets if you want, coolers & beverages.
There are plenty of picnic tables with the bench seat, but your own chair will be a lot more comfortable.

We bring
Paper plates, napkins, cups, utensils, charcoal and everything needed for cooking. We will also be bringing Ketchup & Mustard for everyone.
