Wounded Warrior Event - Quad State Herf 9 Saturday - 9 August 2014
Hear-ye hear-ye hear-ye, I have locked down the date for this year's Quad State Herf. It will be Saturday, August 9th from 1000 (10am) until dusk (roughly 2000/8pm) and the location is West Point's Recreational Area (Round Pond). It will be a day of relaxing, enjoying great BBQ (prepared by Sean Keever and his crew - Muzzle Brake BBQ aka: Big Guns BBQ) and a number of outdoor events, i.e., volleyball, basketball, horse shoes, fishing, swimming, paddle boating and much more. The recreation area is large enough to comfortably accommodate our 200 guests.
The cost to attend the Quad State Herf is the same it has been for the past years, $50.00 per person (half for food and drink and the other half for the "benefit"). The benefit of the event again this year will be "Wings for Warriors" http://wingsforwarriors.org/ as well as the “Hudson Valley Honor Flight” http://hvhonorflight.com/.
As always, each guest will receive a very nice "goodie bag" and there will be plenty of stuff being raffled off at the event.
Below is a map of the area as well as Round Pond's website:
