🇺🇸 ⭐️ "July 4th Picnic in the Park" at Huddart Park, Woodside! ⭐️ 🇺🇸

🇺🇸 ⭐️ July 4th Potluck Picnic at Huddart Park in Woodside! ⭐️ 🇺🇸

Kick back, grill up, and groove with us this Independence Day at a fun-filled, relaxed picnic in the shady West Meadow picnic area of beautiful Huddart Park! Think: tasty BBQ, picnic delights, lawn games, music, and plenty of laughs. 🍔🌭🍉🎶

⚽ Maybe even a friendly soccer or volleyball game for those of us who still have moves (or at least good intentions).
🎤 Nonstop Music plus laid-back Singalong Fun — just us singing our favorite tunes together, with the original song playing in the background (no talent required, just enthusiasm).

🧺 It’s a POTLUCK!
Please sign up HERE by Saturday, June 28, so we can fill in any missing items. Plates, napkins, and utensils will be provided—thanks to your generous member donations. 🙌
💡 Not sure what to bring? Check the list for ideas—you can update your entry any time up through the 28th.

🔥 We'll fire up the barbecues at 1:30 PM — so come hungry! If you’re bringing something for the grill, please arrive by then so we can cook everything together. 🍔 🌭
No fireworks this year, but honestly… who needs them when we’ve got delicious food, fun games, and amazing New Beginnings friends? 😄 🎉

🥾 Want to hit the trails? Come early and enjoy a hike on your own before the picnic kicks off at 1:00 PM. The park has trails for every level—from easy strolls to challenging climbs. You can ask the ranger at the entrance for a free trail map! 🚶🏻🚶🏼‍♀️
