Penfield Beach Bash

Thursday, July 16
6:00 pm to 10:00 pm at the Penfield II Pavilion, Fairfield Beach Road, Fairfield.

Back to the Bash!

The Third Annual Penfield Beach Bash will be a slightly more casual affair than last year's. No live band this time (we couldn't hear ourselves anyway), and the theme is "Classic Picnic" — we'll be grilling hot dogs and hamburgers and serving up beer and wine, potato salad and the like.

Shorts and flip-flops are the outfit of choice for this summertime social networking confab. Join us on the patio for a great view of the water (and if we're lucky, maybe some sand sculptures left over from the recent Penfield Beach Sand Castle Festival).

Note that reservations are pre-paid only — payment will not be accepted at the door — because the Pavilion limits us to 125 people.

No walk-ins (yes, that includes you), BAH free passes or "Member Bring a Member" freebies for this one. Don't wait until the last minute to sign up or we'll be partying without you.

Just $40 for members and $50 for non-members for a fun evening at the beach.

Remember, pre-paid reservations are required. We must receive payment by July 13 to guarantee your reservation. Call us at 203-255-1011 or register online.
