UP Dad’s Club Happy Hour
5:00 -7:00pm
Ramble Room
Attention UP Dad’s! Join us for a another Dad’s Club happy hour at Ramble Room tonight—where the drinks are cold, the stories get better with each round, and everyone mysteriously forgets how early school starts tomorrow. Reconnect with fellow dads, swap parenting “wins” (and near misses), and enjoy some bevy’s and lite bites.  Attendance is highly encouraged, dad jokes are inevitable, and returning home later than promised is fully approved.
