A big thank you to everyone who came out for our Summer Celebration!! We loved having Dave Mallet play, the wood fired pizza was sizzling, Geeze Louise That’s a Wrap food truck was a total hit, and although the cow never pooped, Cow Patty Plop was a crowd pleaser! We can’t wait to do it all again next year! Extra thanks to the Dave Mallett Trio, what a show! Can’t wait to have you back on campus!
