Weather is looking great for tomorrow! 12 PM 77° Partly Cloudy HUMIDITY: 50% PRECIP: 0% WIND:SW at 2 mph Hope to see you there! Love, Cassie

Ok peeps this looks like loads of fun! So I want to go! Who's with me?? Read all the information below about this FREE event and then tell me if you want to join me I will be posting it in all my groups.....

So plan is get yourself to the park by finding a parking space in town and getting on the shuttle....once at the park make your way to the center gazebo (see photo below) I plan to get there at noon and wait for peeps and find a place somewhere there or near there to set up my chair and "base camp". Look for me, my red chair and my meetup sign. Then I plan to wander about and see what all there is to see and sample some of the food truck items.

Bring a chair or blanket to sit on, perhaps a cap and some bug spray and money to buy food if you plan to eat. Also the $2 for the shuttle from town to the park. This is a really lovely spot though we went there for a candlelight ceremony after sandy. As always check in before going if the weather is iffy and please be courteous with your RSVP's

Hope to see you there! Love, Cassie cassiescalendar.blogspot.com (http://cassiescalendar.blogspot.com/)

whose style and voice have been compared to Jewel, Shania Twain, and Stevie Nicks, old influences of her Country and Rock roots and giving them new meaning with her own sound.
