Our next spirit night is Tuesday, November 14 from 4-8pm at the Patton Creek Firehouse Subs. This is owned and operated by one of our very own Brock’s Gap families so it’s the perfect partnership!  It was extremely successful for us last year so we are excited to partner with them again!  We’d love your support and encouragement for participation!
