Everyone brings something to snack on, and something to drink. Remember
this is a County Park, and open containers are against the law.
along with alcoholic beverages. So we wouldn't want anyone mistaking
grape juice for wine, so bring it in a non descriptive type container.
(Those three foot bright red wine bottles last year kinda gave it
away). Bring your own dinner to either cook or bring sandwiches
or head on over to the Bayport Inn for some Prime Ribs. Remember
to pull all the way to the curb when parking so we can get two British
Cars to the parking space and drive the cops nutz!
Cruise Nights are
held almost every night of the week somewhere in the area -
