What is the Dreadnought Family Picnic?: This will be the fifth of many more to come, Mark DeRose & The Dreadnoughts family picnics. 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”.
Food and Beverage: As we do every year, we will be grilling burgers and hot dogs for the entire family. We are covering the cost of the burgers and dogs so as to be able to offer them to our guests as a small “thank you”. In the true spirit of a family reunion, a pot luck dinner with a limited supply of food and beverages will be provided by the event and its team of volunteers. As well, each guest will have access to complimentary beer and beverages as an additional “thank you”!
While there will be the aforementioned pot luck dinner, we do encourage guests to bring their own picnic and beverage(s) of choice! If you'd like to help out and contribute to the pot luck dinner, please email Mark at mark@markderosemusic.com OR sign up at via this Google Form.
Parking: The Foreman Family Homestead (as we like to call it) is nestled in the quaint riverside town of Marrietta, PA. Parking is available in the immediate vicinity to the Foreman's home, as well as throughout the town - ALL within walking distance. DFP PARKING MAP.
