Invite your entire team! It's free to get in. It's an ALL AGES event.
Lawrence Hall has several food options under one roof. ( You have to buy your own food. ) At Lawrence Hall, there are several ways to order food and drink. Come in, find a seat, and scan the QR code that’s attached to your table. The menus for Cuddy’s, Loaded, La Palapa, Toma and Dear James will all show up through the QR code and you can order as you like.
If you prefer not to order by QR code you can head directly to the kitchen of your choice, and/or the bar and order in person. It’s still fun to talk to real humans! There's Ice cream too (which is better than any human).
We’ll give out Best Poster, Best Trailer, and team leaders will give out Unsung Hero awards at the Wrap Party!
