Freethought Picnic for All Ages III - August 15, noon, Columbia Park, Mpls
This is the third and last of three summer picnics for all of us atheists and humanists (sponsored by Minnesota Atheists). There's a great playground for kids, a basketball hoop, fields for badminton, ultimate frisbee, soccer, bocce ball and other games, and a picnic area for dining, board games, and lots of conversation! If you've been to the first two picnics, you know how much fun they are!
The picnic is a potluck. Please bring some edibles to share. The shelter has electricity and a sink.
Families: in your RSVP, please mention the ages and genders of your children
Athletes (all levels): please tell us what sport you prefer so we can get a game going (at the last two we had Badminton, Bocce Ball, Ultimate Frisbee, Basketball, and more)
Board gamers: please let us know what games you enjoy and any you can bring
Musicians: please mention which musical instrument you plan to bring for an impromptu jam

EricAssistant Organizer+4 guestsLots of fun with a lot of a bunch of jolly and thoughtful atheists (some even helped me watch my dog and kids!). My boys and I loved tossing the frisbee around just before we left. And kudos to the good lord for giving us such a beautiful day! ;)

Daniel HansenEven though I rarely make any of the get togethers and don't really know anyone personally, I'm always made to feel welcome and enjoy myself. I appreciate that.

Lee NewmanIt was a great day for a picnic and a fun way to connect with other non-believers.
Bocce ball would have been great because it was too windy for much of anything else. I think I will buy a set and bring it to next June's picnic. Also, the food was absolutely wonderful.
