The main event begins on Saturday afternoon at 4:00 pm EST. And we hope to go late … and then have the after-party from then.
Yet, in the days preceding and after we have plenty of more ideas. There will be food, walks, campfires, yoga and more delicious, homemade food. We’ve got plans to get to the Durham Bulls
(minor league baseball) on Sunday night and needs to visit the ice cream stalls at nearby dairy farms as well as pick the salad greens and flowers straight outta the ground. (I’d love to see a movie for $3 at the small town movie theater in Graham … but it depends on what’s playing.)
[Of course, this itinerary is subject to change. We also welcome more ideas, contributions ... so put them forth!]

Mariana & Chad,
All the suggestions sound great, and yet, while the Durham Bulls and a movie may be fun I think it too will be great to just hang out, play and meet other fun peeps that will be joining you all for this momentous occassion. Also, be sure to let us know what things we can do to help out, etc.
Looking forward to it!!
Farmer,
eh, I see a lot of things on the schedule but no mention of the booze, shots and the like? How about cigars?
