Rockwall County’s Open Space BBQ moved to June 24

UPDATE from the Rockwall County Open Space Alliance:

The high risk of dangerous thunderstorms has led us to move the date for this Saturday’s Sunset and Stars barbecue. We are rescheduling the barbecue to June 24th, 2017 and you have the option of transferring your ticket to the new date, so hold onto your tickets. However, if you are unable to attend and would like a refund of your ticket price, please let us know as soon as possible. For more about the refund process, please send an email to: information@rockwallosa.org.

We are disappointed but the severe weather forecasted is simply out of our control and your safety is more important to us than anything. Anything. We care about you.

Thank you for all of your support. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
