General Merriment!

In keeping with the super-casual vibe, this is a "drop in when you can" event. Please feel free to wear garb if you would like, but don't let that be a hinderance to coming. We would love to see you, even if work or family schedules prevent you from coming for the whole evening.

Map & Directions

Make your best way to the service road (St. Robert Outer Road) that runs on the north side of I-44 between Exits 161 and 163. Follow this service road until you reach the corner with the large water tower and Gospel Ridge Church, where you will turn north onto Harlan Lane. Then, turn right onto Hardin Lane, which will become gravel after a few feet. Immediately after the electrical substation, you will see a sign for Hargrove Road to the right. Do not take this turnoff unless you like steep hairpin turns! Instead, continue down Hardin Lane until you find the second Hargrove Road sign and turn right. Take the first driveway to the left, marked with the house number (15640) on a shield-shaped sign.
