4)  Bring your own yard games (i.e. Badminton, etc.) as well.

5)  Bring cameras and bug spray – it is the country.

6)  KCWineco is owned and operated by fellow USAFA graduate Kirk Berggren (’86) and his family. Kirk is making a special effort for this event on behalf of our service academy associations.  Make sure you enjoy a bottle of one of the many wines KCWineco is now producing.

Invitees: Members of the associations of graduates from all service academies, former military veterans and military members, members of the parents’ club of cadets, and family members.  Don’t forget the kids too. Parents of prospective midshipmen (cadets) are also invited as well as the candidate him/herself.

Cautionary Note: The winery and vineyards are open for viewing but this is a working operations. It does have barbed wire, poison ivy and an unfenced pond outside of the customer area. So monitoring of children is absolutely mandatory to prevent them from getting into areas that are off limits and not safe.
