The theme is RED foods! Consuming red foods is a recognized tradition of Juneteenth.
But bring whatever you wish, we'll be happy you came to celebrate as a community!!

POTLUCK-ing advice: Bring enough to feed about 10-15 people unless you are really sure it was a hit last year. Green salads don't seem to work. If your item needs to be on ice, bring ice and a large bowl to keep it cool on the table. Ice Cream is not a good option!
