Roll up, find your spot on the lawn, and soak it all in. The lake’s looking good, the sky’s turning gold, and the night is just getting started.

Supper's
On
Come hungry. We’re serving up elevated takes on American classics — think smash burgers with all the fixings, loaded dogs, hand-cut fries, and a few things that’d make any diner cook proud. Cold drinks, good company, lakeside table optional.
The heart of America’s Bash. We honor those who served with wish fulfillment for deserving veterans — followed by a U.S. Air Force flyover that’ll raise every hair on your arm.
It is our tradition to honor those who have served our nation. We want to give back by granting wishes for deserving veterans — whether it’s a family vacation, a home upgrade, or a meaningful experience.
