Our spring picnic this year was a great success. Not only do we now have a new grill to do all of the cooking needs that we require but we had a fantastic turnout even though the weather wasn’t the best. The food and cake purchased beforehand wasn’t enough to keep up with all the people who turned up so there was another trip made for extra supplies. There was the usual game of wiffle ball for a while and there was a kickball floating around, along with a frisbee and football for people to play catch with. Just about everyone participated in some sort of activity. All in all it was a good time and thanks to everyone who showed up hope to see you there next year.
