“We’ve had food stalls ranging from a hog roast to pizza to churros.
“We’re very excited to be opening again. We have staged drive-in movies throughout the summer, but now we are able to move back inside as well. We won’t be losing what we have been doing either. We will be incorporating it into next year’s schedule.”
