All IFU members are invited to come together for our annual Potluck Barn Party. It’s free, and the atmosphere is family-friendly. Bring a dish to share with others and come enjoy yourself. We’ll have live music, awesome guests: Admiral Michael Franken, Ryan Melton, J.D. Scholten, and one or two other surprises! Plus, we’ll play bingo and bid on the silent auction.
The Potluck Barn Party is being held at the Big Oak Barn, 12806 NE 64th St. in Elkhart. There will be signs with directions. This is the same location as last year. Registration is required.
