Additionally, each month a different duo of food trucks will be on-site, “offering a variety of tasty options the whole family can enjoy,” the release says.
Members of the public are invited to come to Bay Preserve “to watch, play, or simply enjoy nature and food with family and friends,” the release adds. “Each monthly event will have a different theme with a variety of questions covering categories ranging from movies and music to science and nature,” the release continues. Teams can have up to eight members; multi-generational teams are encouraged.

The winning team of each individual monthly event will receive a prize package, the release notes. Points also will be accumulated across the series, the release says, with the overall winning team receiving its choice of a private, guided hike or kayak trip for up to 10 people.
“Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets and/or lawn chairs to sit upon for this outdoor, picnic-style gathering,” the release adds.
