Sagebrush Cantina makes a splash among Sandy and many other locals who can't get enough of its Mexican cuisine and margaritas.

I'm working the open as a volunteer - here are a few tips:
Parking is free - paying someone near the clubhouse to park in their yard results you having to walk further than the free shuttle bus drop off.
Watch out for resold tickets on line - $75.00 for "all access" is $40.00 on-site for the same thing.
Tickets can be purchased at Krogers or on-site at the shuttle-bus drop off.
Have fun!
