FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is the Dreadnought Family Picnic? This will be the second of many more to come, Mark DeRose & The Dreadnoughts fan appreciation parties. Recognizing the importance of being in and cultivating relationships with other people who genuinely care about one another, the Dreadnought Family Picnic is Mark and the band’s chance to bring their “family” together, to say “thank you”.

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 does my donation cover? Donations are not required, but greatly appreciated as we aim to support West Lancaster Arts Center. Otherwise, entrance into The Family Picnic is FREE TO ALL!

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! In an attempt to get to know you all better, we'd ask that ALL FAMILY members either pre register HERE (link coming soon), or visit the merchandise booth on the day of the DFP, to check in and say "hello".
