Afterwards, Jerry Disterhaft invites all attendees to a potluck campfire dinner at his home on Huckleberry Road. This historical homestead is located on the Fox River, and Jerry will talk about the history of the land here as well as spring night sounds. He requests that guests bring a camp chair and a dish to pass.
