Summer Sizzle

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The Summer Sizzle has been postponed! A new date has yet to be determined, but we are determined to make this one happen sometime this year. It is our hope that we will have the safety and security necessary to hold our event at in 2020 as we try to be socially distant during the times of this crisis we are currently dealing with. All those who have registered will have their registrations honored for this new date. Stay distant for now and stay positive as we are looking for better days awaiting us!
