Pre-Registration Necessary? And is it for Raleigh residents only?

Pre-registration is not necessary but is advised through Raleigh Rec. You do not have to be a Raleigh Resident to attend.

What ages can attend? Is this for Seniors only?

Although this event is being held at an Active Adult Center (catering to Seniors) all ages of adults, 18+, are welcome. We are looking to create an intra-generational event.
