where there is fun for the whole family.

The festivities begin at 11:30 and we will party on until 3 PM

If you are new to WAHA, this is a great way to meet lots of people and it is usually one of our biggest events of the year. Please do stop by before you go off to other festivities. WAHA provides hot dogs, hamburgers and drinks. Bring a potluck side or dessert  to share, for at least 10 people.

We can always need help with set up and clean up and love volunteers for 1/2 hour shifts on the barbie.

Saturday, July 4

11:30 am - 3 pm

Please don your patriotic best (red, white, and/or blue), and join WAHA at our annual All-American 4th of July party and picnic. Our host is WAHA Board member Jean Cade.

Food. Fun. Music, activities for the kids and good cheer for the whole family. This year, it is a pool party (with lifeguard), so you are welcome to bring/wear swimming attire.

As always, Wa-hot dogs (and hamburgers) will be on the grill, cold drinks are on the house, and the Potluck Picnic IS ON YOU — please bring salads, main dishes, desserts, or fruits to share. (Each adult should try to bring enough for 10 people, and let's avoid food that will melt on a summer day! If you prefer a different meat, please bring it already cooked.)

 

We hope to see you on July 4th!
