Hot dogs are free and sodas are 25 cents. DJ Mark Joseph will spin classics from the ’50s and ’60s. Visitors can enter the raffle for prizes, including restaurant gift certificates. There also will be a silent auction for the grown-ups and paintball target shooting for the kids. A vintage British roadster will be on hand.
