We are asking that you reach out to the leaders that you know and remember, and bring them with you, be it in person or in spirit. The festivities will take place 1:00 pm – 8:00 pm on Saturday, July 10, at the Goodman Pavilion at Camp Horseshoe. Attendees will have the afternoon to once again collect the dust of Horseshoe in their moccasins by touring the Reservation, renewing old friendships, and sharing memories.
