Dinner will be served at food stations you will be able to pick and choose your menu choices along with a no host beer and wine bar. Local Baked Halibut over Spinach Rosemary Roasted Potatoes Birthday Cake & Ice Cream Sundaes A lasting legacy of Hocker’s vision, the Decades Birthday Party has been held almost every year since its inception, strengthening bonds and rekindling friendships among attendees. Tables will be available for celebrants to share personal memories—whether through photo albums, treasured keepsakes, school mementos, or military memorabilia—creating heartfelt connections across generations. Community members who aren’t marking a milestone this year are encouraged to join the festivities in a different way: as hosts, waiters, or kitchen volunteers. Their contribution helps ensure this beloved tradition continues to flourish.
