we will also have food at the park - burgers, hot dogs, snacks, and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase. there will be some time in-between events or during events with multiple 'heats', this is the best time to grab a bite to eat (or wait till afterwards). we have a lot scheduled so please make sure you are ready for the next event that you and your team are a part of.
