Activities around the gorgeous riverside bonfire round out this major fundraiser event for GLC. Scrumptious bundles of s'more ingredients will be available for the bonfire! There will be engaging raffle opportunities like nature themed games for grownups and adults to win raffle tickets. All beautiful one of a kind table center pieces will be raffled off too for you to take home. Cash bar. This will be a ticketed event (it's a fUNdraiser!)
