We will not be in the parade. The parade starts 12:00. We will serve food all day. We are having Indain Taco’s, Fry bread, and Buffalo burgers. Maybe Pheasant dinners too. If we have the Pheasant, we will serve that tell it is gone. But we should have Indain Taco’s, and Buffalo most of the day. We could use some help.
