Fencing Complete
The fencing along the streamside is now complete and customers can now use the rear entrances. However, we're going to wait for the outside tables until we're ready to rush in and out to customers! The rest of the landscaping will continue later in the year, so that we can concentrate on the inside again. Official Opening: September 30th
