Summer Shindig Sunday

Hey, hey, hey – it’s not too late to make plans (or change your plans) so you can attend the NoVAGO Summer Shindig (GC11329) in Pohick Bay Regional Park. The event starts at 10:30 this coming Sunday, August 5th, 2007. NoVAGO really knows how to host an event, and these major “season” events are not to be missed. Good food, good folks, and good times are guaranteed! See the NoVAGO Event Forum for some exciting news about a Silent Auction – the list of items is amazing. There will also be a Raffle, caches to hunt in the park and surrounding area, and more socializing than you can shake a stick at. See you there!!!
