Marion-Polk OSWA Annual BBQ-Potluck Social
You are invited to the second annual BBQ-Potluck social, which this year will include an Old Growth Forest Tour after lunch! This social event has no real program other than the lunch and hike.
BBQ chicken, Kielbasa, and drinks will be provided, so please bring your favorite side dish to share. After lunch we’ll load up into a few cars for the trip up the hill. The hike into the Old Growth is not easy, but no mountain climb either. Please have appropriate shoes and cameras.
