CGCC Family Game Night at The Parched Pug (May 03, 2026)

Sun, 03 May 2026 21:00:00 GMT

Come meet with other parents and kids to talk and play games during our monthly Family Game Night! Games are free on Sundays and choose any of the games from 200+ board game library. Join us at The Parched Pug in Libertyville for food, drinks, and games while the parents connect, and the kids enjoy time together playing games.

Please register so that we can reserve adequate space for the group. This event is "free" as everyone will pay their own bill at the end of the evening. There are no drop offs and a parent or guardian must accompany their child during the length of the event. If your plans change after registration, please kindly respond to the confirmation email so we can adjust our arrangements.

Please note that by attending this event, you confirm that you will assume all the risk to yourself and your family related to coronavirus.
