Activities
New this year, join us for “Family Physician Feud!” Similar to the “Family Feud” we all watch on TV, teams will face off in pop culture questions. We will play 4 rounds with 2 teams. The team with the most points after the 4 rounds will move on in the game and face their next opponent. It will be tournament style, and the last team standing will be the champions of Family Physician Feud!
