Lunch of barbecue chicken and ribs with swamp cabbage will be provided free to Friends members and will be $10 per person for nonmembers. Folks are encouraged to bring a favorite dessert or a jug of ice tea for a pot luck contribution.

Other activities will include the Third Annual Silent Auction, hayrides with a naturalist, boat rides on the Suwannee River, self-guided walks on the River Trail, and a group paddle on Sandfly Creek.
