As part of the VIP Farm-to-Table Dinner, participants will enjoy locally-sourced BBQ, chicken, salads, sides, beer and wine. This wonderful meal experience will take place in front of the Historic Houtz Barn in the heart of Explore Park. There will also be live bluegrass music by the Roanoke Valley Ramblers.
 
Registration for the VIP Farm-to-Table Dinner will be $50.00 per participant and will include a Hike for Hospice t-shirt and participant bag as well as the delicious locally sourced meal. 

VIP participants are also welcome to enjoy all the festivities at the Main Event area (band, vendors, optional excursion hikes, etc.) after or before their VIP Farm-to-Table Dinner at the Houtz Barn location.

Main Event:

Participants will check-in for the event at the blue tents setup in the parking lot of the Explore Park Visitor Center. At check-in participants will receive their event t-shirts, hiking bags, directions and a wrist band. Participants will choose from two different self-guided hiking routes (easy and intermediate) to lead them to the main event area.

There will be golf carts available to help those with mobility difficulties down to the main event area and there will also will be volunteers posted along the hiking routes to answer questions or offer assistance.


The main event will include:

  • Live Bluegrass music by the talented Easter Divide Band
  • Lunch off the grill (burgers, hotdogs, veggie burgers and chips) and ice cream catered by Hethwood Market
  • Games including jumbo jenga, cornhole, and more
  • Optional group hike excursions lead by Walkabout Outfitters.
  • A memorial ceremony with dove release at the end of the event

Participants will be able to come and go as they please from the main event area. Here are lots of trails throughout Explore Park. So after the initial hike into the main event and after enjoying a filling lunch with all the festivities, feel free to EXPLORE! Food will be served at the main event area throughout the entirety of the event time. Please note, dogs are unfortunately not allowed to attend Roanoke County sponsored events.
