For the Allegan Event outing, we weren’t able to have enough people RSVP to count as a “group”, but we’re still planning on going. The only thing that is changing is the method of payment.
You can bring $25 directly to the event the day of, and that will pay for the ropes course and rock walls, if you would like to buy any snacks or food you can buy it at the kitchen they have there. Please note that outside food is not allowed at the event.
