We’d like to welcome you out to a celebration of life for Ryan. This event will include many main stage bands along with side stage performances throughout the day and evening. This year we are including inside complex bands. There will be a 21+ cash bar for the entirety of the event. Non-alcoholic beverages will be provided with food. People under 21 will be required to leave promptly by 9pm. We plan to have a Chinese auction with many baskets alongside other items donated. Donations are welcome and appreciated. Casual Hand from Buffalo will be attending the event again bringing Ryan’s favorite 3D printed hands and HD yellow glasses he was so well known for.
