The fun-filled day will feature:

For the first time this year, we will have gluten-free blueberry pies! You can sign up in person to participate in the pie-eating contest! It’s gonna get messy!
*Double Dutch Meetup - an inclusive safe space that aims to empower and promote community-building, togetherness, and fitness. It also uses its platform to promote small local businesses and help families in need. The Double Dutch MeetUp started with a random idea of its founder, Ashley Baldwin. Originally, kicking off with a crowd of 20 guests at their first meet up to now over 200 to 300 guest per event in just 3 short months. Double Dutch is such nostalgic activity. It brings people of all ages and all walks of life together. Best part is that you don’t have know how to jump Double Dutch. THEY WILL TEACH YOU! Let’s MeetUp.”
