Last year we started a new tradition called BBQ on the Backlot. It's an Open House, replete with food, fun and festivity, and a chance for DMA's volunteers, board, staff (and anyone else who would like to find out about DMA) to enjoy a relaxing evening. The event takes place from 6-9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 7 and we encourage y'all to come on down. DMA will supply the burgers and dogs (veggie options will be available) and beverages; potluck items and smiles are encouraged. DMA is located at 1623 Fifth Street in Davis.
