What is the Dreadnought Family Picnic?: This will be the third of many more to come, Mark DeRose & The Dreadnoughts family picnics.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What to bring with me? Other than smiles and your party pants... there are a few things you may want to consider bringing with you. As stated above, while there will be the aforementioned pot luck dinner, we do encourage guests to bring their own picnic and beverage(s) of choice! As well, please bring lawn chairs, blankets, coolers, etc. as this is an open air event in the Foreman's backyard. EZ UP tents are permitted, but we will ask they be placed on the outer edge of the picnic area so as to not obstruct other guest's views.
Are all ages welcome? ABSOLUTELY! We LOVE when families enjoy being a part of the Dreadnought Family.
What do family members get? In addition to our gratitude, all guests will receive a complimentary beverage on us! In addition, ALL family members wearing either a Mark DeRose & The Dreadnoughts, Mark DeRose Art OR Family Picnic tee will receive discounts at the Mark DeRose & The Dreadnoughts Merch Booth.
How do I know if I’m a part of the family? IF you're here reading this, you are a part of our family!

Is there a backup plan in the case of rain? YES INDEEDY! In the case of rain we have secured a location just 2 doors down from the Family Picnic where we can move indoors. The decision to move indoors will be made well in advance and attendees will be notified.
