If you call on your friends only when you need something, you will soon find yourself without friends.

Let them know that you are interested in them as people, not in what they can do for you, and you may find that you have made a true and loyal friend.

The layout flows logically from food → drinks → general merchandise. Seating : Indoor seating areas (tables/chairs) plus outdoor picnic/se...
