Please review the document carefully. There are some new items and some old items have changes within the project description. Even though the Road Show says for the week of August 2nd, which is a Monday, we have included some items that are taking place this weekend.
Inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances may occur, so the information below is strictly of an advisory nature and is subject to change with no notice.
