Tickets are available from any member of the Does or at the door on the day of the party. Proceeds enable the Does to put money back into the community. Some of the extended families include the Carters, Rogers, Giles, Kirklands, Finches, Walsinghams, Pitts, and Barfields. A covered dish dinner and fish fry are planned, so bring a picnic basket. Arrive as early as you like.
Lunch is at noon.
