We’re going to be reserving a ramada with tables for lots of family fun - Catering from Floridino's, holiday crafts and lawn games for the kids, music, and don’t forget - our resident photographer, bringing her creativity and fun to your FREE family photo sessions.

In fact, the whole day is free! Come by any time on November 20, 2022 between 1-4pm to enjoy some sweet treats, tunes, activities and crafts, family photos and of course - the tradition that started it all, a free pie to take home for your Thanksgiving table from our friends at Fidelity National Title.

Oh, and one last, but very important thing - our clients are the absolute most giving, most caring, most amazing people in the world and because of that - we always want to give YOU the chance to give back because we know you are SO good at it. We are going to be collecting canned foods and non perishable items for the United Food Bank again this year - please, please, please bring something with you if you can? And of course, if you are a family in need or know of a family who is struggling - email us at [email protected] so that we can make a difference in YOUR holiday season.
