Final, Final Reminders*
Entertainment update from Van...
The music at old forge is going be really special tomorrow. I have lots of guest musicians coming up in my set and the main act Forc is really a great band. It sounds like half the county is coming to old forge and you should to! It's going to be a night to remember. Or not, meaning stay at the pine barn Inn please if you need a nice bed for the night :)Remember to bring Food Bank Donations
The Wagners also request, if possible, bring your own metal silverware. They are trying to cut down on plastic. Or you can just eat with your hands.
Parking could be a mess at the Wagner Farm (snowy and muddy), so be patient, and drive gently.
*There may be more reminders later tonight or tomorrow morning.

Final Driveway Update
The driveway is muddy but awesome! All cars should travel up just fine as long as you don’t stop to smell the roses mid-mud. I do suggest mud-friendly footwear as we're pretty swampy out in the yard and field right now. It’s going to be a great day! See you all in Danville!
