• After lunch, spouses can continue socializing or doing their own thing. We hope to see you at the final evening social event!

Overall Vibe:

• This is a laid-back, fun event for fire spouses to meet and connect. There’s no pressure and the goal is just to have a good time.

• It’s a chance to meet like-minded people, make new friends, and enjoy a few days of fun and camaraderie.
