This is a large meet for Walnut Grove. Parking will not be easy in the park unless you get there early. We are asked to remind parents not to park on the grass in the park anywhere near the lines on the cross country course and to stay away from the start and finish line while the races are starting and finishing.

We will have a family picnic following the awards ceremony at the shelter in the park on the northeast end. I will be getting there early to reserve the shelter.
