I don't know but surely they will be directing us to parking areas... I hope!

anyway, I just saw this in a fb message:

.. there will be a color guard for a 21 gun salute to honor 9/11 and kick off the festivities at 10am tomorrow...

We are hoping to get there today too. The planners and volunteers have worked very hard from what I hear, and there will be lots of info about the history of this "young" community!

Its going to be a fantastic event! Proud of our community for honoring its history and everything that makes it so wonderful.

Unfortunately, I have a sick little boy here today so we won't be able to make it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for tomorrow!
