You must purchase a ticket to participate in the community supper. You can purchase tickets online or at FUS on Sunday, June 14. We will have a table in the gallery before assembly and in the lower assembly hall after assembly. Staff and our newest FUS members should visit the in person sales table or go through the FUS office to obtain their free ticket. Prices are:
Adult – $15 through Sunday, June 14. $20, starting Monday, June 15
Youth, age 0 through graduating high school seniors – FREE, thanks to a grant from the Foundation of FUS
Online ticket sales will close on Thursday, July 18. You can purchase tickets at the door the night of the event, but purchasing as soon as you know you are attending helps to inform our planning for food preparation.
The Midsummer Revels program is open to all and does not require purchasing a ticket. There will be a donation jar available during dessert for those who haven’t purchased a ticket and wish to make a contribution.
