I hope you’re rested up because we’ve got a PACKED weekend with plenty of events for the entire family, all weekend long. And we get to do it on our BRAND NEW ROAD!!!! 

The forecast for Friday and Saturday shows plenty of sunshine and highs in the upper 80s (!!!!), so make sure you get outside and enjoy all the fun activities!
