A little rain won’t dampen our day 😉

Just a little reminder that Graze the Bench is a rain or shine event! ☔️☀️ We’ve all been checking our weather forecasts for this weekend nonstop and are hoping for the best - but sometimes it rains! We recommend checking the weather forecast before leaving the house and packing accordingly. Be sure to bring your rain ponchos, umbrellas, and jackets if you think you’ll need them!

Our team has safety plans in case of severe weather events.
