Welcome to the Deerlick Astronomy Village Memorial Day Weekend Picnic Potluck!

Meal setup & socializing will begin in the pavilion on Grier's Field at 4 PM on the Sunday afternoon of Memorial Day Weekend. Chow down starts at 5 PM. Anyone interested in DAV is welcome - no membership is required this weekend. You might want to bring a camp chair in case we have an overflow crowd in the pavilion.

Burgers and brats or hotdogs will be grilled for all who sign up by the Friday before the picnic. Please indicate below how many are in your party in the box with your last name or by listing all names. For example, "Hank & Helen Hubble" or "Bill Kepler (3)". If you include your email address when you sign up, you will get an email reminder two days before the event. Your phone number is totally optional.

If you would like to attend at the last minute, please come! We might not have you in the burger count, but there will tons of food and LOTS of camping space. Simply sign up for what you are bringing to the potluck below (or in the TBD section!) and come on out! We'd love to have you join us.

Camp under the stars! If you would like to camp on Grier's Field after the picnic, camping on Sunday night is free. If you would like to come out to DAV for multiple nights of the Memorial Day weekend, there will be a $5 camping fee per person per night on Friday &/or Saturday. A full bath house is located on site. All of the usual Dark Sky rules will apply while camping at DAV. See the Deerlick Astronomy Village Dark Sky Camping Rules for details. Campers will be asked to sign a personal liability waiver & dark sky rules agreement form.

A note about the weather: Rain or shine, we will have the picnic in the pavilion. Overnight camping will be up to you. :)

For driving directions & maps, see https://deerlickgroup.com/directions/. The entry gate will be open for this event so you will not need a gate access code. A Google map is available at http://bit.ly/DAVmap.

Note: Do not follow any GPS directions that send you down unpaved logging roads or ATV trails! All roads to Deerlick Astronomy Village are paved except for the final 1/2 mile into the property on county-maintained Aaron Grier Road SE.
