FREE hamburgers, hot dogs and coleslaw will be provided by Boutique Air while supplies last, with picnic tables near the North Pavilion, where
PAL of Massena will also have water and soda available for purchase, with proceeds supporting local youth programs.

The River Village complements the Big Bass Blowout by creating a place where families, residents and visitors can explore, learn and connect while enjoying everything happening throughout the weekend.
