Our Saturday Pancake Brunch helps to kick off our Saturday activities… and be sure to join us for our first-ever Pulled Pork Sandwich Dinner Saturday evening.  This dinner consists of sandwiches made from delicious smoked pork shoulders, coleslaw, chips and homemade bacon mac and cheese from the smoker too.  And of course, we will have our Snowflake Café available all weekend, along with the Dessert Cart, Coffee Shop, and Beer Garden.
