11am: Beach/Wharf Walk
12pm: Giant Dipper Ride
7pm: Reunion-Cocoanut Grove, Beach Boardwalk

• Beach/wharf walk. Meet at Ideal Bar and Grill, 106 Beach St. At the corner of Beach Street and the wharf.  
• Then head over to the Boardwalk at 12 noon, for a ride on the Giant Dipper. 
• Remember that the Boardwalk is having its Chili Cook-Off on Saturday, so it will be crowded and there will likely be traffic getting to the Boardwalk. Allow for extra time if you are driving, especially 12-2pm.
• Of course, the main event is Saturday evening, 7pm. There will be 2.0 hrs of food/social time, then the band starts around 9pm so bring your dancing shoes. Parking will be validated. Bring your ticket to the party for a stamp. 
• Entrance to Boardwalk’s Cocoanut Grove is 400 Beach Street, between the rides and the wharf.
