Event Details:

Kirk and Julie Sheehy will be leaving on September 12, 2019 time to be determined. We will be providing the lodging at our family lake home known to us as Flynn’s Hideaway in Sunrise Beach MO. There is sleeping for 25 – 30 people, 3 full baths, full kitchen, deck, fire pit area, and dock for swimming and fishing (we do have some fishing equipment). The road off the highway is blacktopped but the parking will be on gravel. The grocery store is about 5 miles away and we can determine if we want to make meals or find a restaurant to eat at. 

If you are not able to join us on the ride down but would still like to join us we and provide you with information to join us.
