Forget the Football. Come for the Roses!
Join PRS at Bon Air Park Rose Garden on Saturday, October 24 at 2pm for 
PRS Fall Fête 2026
You saved the date, now here are the details! Get ready for an afternoon of roses, friendship, refreshments, and a chance to win a free book in The Great Rose Trivia Challenge at our inaugural PRS Fall Fête!
There are plenty of ways to spend a fall Saturday. Watching football is one of them. But we think an afternoon surrounded by roses and great company sounds even better!
Think of it as our alternative to the football tailgate:
*Less football. More roses.
*Fewer rivalries. More friendship.
*No halftime. Just refreshments.
*And absolutely no need to know the score.
