For this event, food and drinks may be brought upstairs, but PLEASE - no food or drink in our Lodge Room (except water).

LUNCH OPTIONS

This year we added the option of having lunch included with your ticket to ease the process.  That order will be ready for our lunch break.  Those who purchased tickets without lunch will need to bring their lunch or visit local restaurants.  Nearby options exist in the downtown area, but the closest are The Attic next door and Yeoman's Cask & Lion two blocks south on Morgan St.  Other options will be mostly across downtown towards the river.
