Please dress for the weather!
If it has been raining prior to our event the ground will be wet and, in some places, muddy. Wear the appropriate footwear. The weather can change quickly! It may be cold in the morning but by the afternoon it can be hot out there. Advise you to dress in layers. Small coolers and pop-up canopies are permitted but must be placed on the side of the road across from the headstones.
