We are so excited to be returning to The Southern Cross Ranch this year for a day of family fun for the DSG Annual Family Picnic. The Southern Cross Ranch activities include a petting zoo, fishing ponds (bring your own gear and bait), playground, bubble garden, clown/balloon artist, face painting, bounce house, rock climbing wall, pedal boats, and sports fields and games (equipment provided with the exception of softball gloves). The swimming pool with lifeguard on duty will also be included this year.

Lunch will be provided and will consist of a bbq buffet with hot dog meals for the kids. Please note that all menu items except buns, rolls, and desserts do not have gluten containing ingredients; however, they are not prepared in a dedicated gluten free kitchen. Certified gluten free cookies will be available for dessert for those unable to enjoy the regular dessert.
