If there was a roof on the amphitheater at Brenau University, it just might get blown off with the rocking good time planned for the venue Friday.

At 6 p.m., the gates of the amphitheater at 810 Brenau Lane in Gainesville will open for the annual Rock in the Spring concert, hosted by Challenged Child & Friends.

Advance lawn tickets are $20 each, $25 at the door.

The Mid Life Crisis Band will provide the tunes, but the refreshments are BYOS — bring your own snack. Although attendees furnish their own treats, there’s also the option to pre-order a boxed meal from Turnstile Deli.

The meal options include a chicken salad croissant sandwich with sides for $15.95 or barbecue pork and beef brisket with sides and sides for $16.95, both options with a brownie for dessert.

Proceeds from the event benefit Challenged Child, a nonprofit educational center for children with and without developmental delays and disabilities.

If it rains, the event will be moved inside the gym flanking the outdoor arena.

Don’t forget your lawn chairs or blankets.

If you prefer more formal accommodations, tables for six can be purchased for $300 each, eight-seaters for $400 each.
