Memorial Day Events
Happy Memorial Day Weekend, everybody! Below, we've compiled a short list of events in case your barbeque fell through, or you just feel like doing something different.
If your barbeque DIDN'T fall through, call us. We want burgers.

Ride the Lighting Bolt Express around the Square, enjoy face painting (just Saturday and Sunday), plus fun and games on the Great Lawn.
While you're here, you're probably going to want to enjoy a delicious burger or milkshake from Stephen Starr's Squareburger. Justin once ate one and had a whole milkshake, then went back for a second burger. He was way too full, but it was definitely worth it.
