Picnic Food & Fun Activity Details listed below:

Picnic Basics: Bobby Rented 4 Picnic Shelters for the 5 Summer Picnics so Rain or Shine the Park Picnic is happening. Running Water Bathrooms at all picnics sites. Free Parking at all sites (arrive early for nearest parking).
Rules of the Game (besides having fun and making new friendships):

• PAY the $12 Picnic FEE / COST when you Arrive and Register to get your Badge.

$12 Fee / Cost includes the Park Shelter Rentals, Burgers, Brats, Hot Dogs, Buns, Ketchup, Mustard, Pickles, Bottled Water, Name Badges, Plates, Napkins, Silverware, Serving Pieces & Utensils, Event Games, Ice, Charcoal, Decorations, Sanitizers, etc… (Fyi… this is not a profit center for Bobby, generally I lose about $1000 to $1500 a year, if it rains and I rent a Pavilion and only a few people show up I am out the rental money, and have to throw away food like Buns, etc) Donations are Appreciated!

The Potluck Picnics always end up with Fabulous Salads, Entrées, Desserts, Beverages, and much more. You're welcome and encouraged to bring a potluck item if you choose.

• There are Potluck Menu suggestions posted below. Please sign up for a Food or Beverage item when you RSVP or in the “Comments” area for the event. Please let us know what you will be bringing.

• Bring a folding lawn chair or blanket (if you like), sunglasses, cap and your youthful playfulness. Plenty of Picnic Tables.

• Picnic Events will last 4+ hours.

• Picnic Registration & Potluck Food Drop Off begins at 11:00 - 12:00 Noon.

Volunteers are welcome to help set things up or help organize food items as they arrive or Grill.

Please bring pre-packaged Potluck Items, or Store Items as much as possible. I bring extra serving platters & bowls, utensils, sanitation products, and rubber gloves, so nobody needs to touch food when dropping off their potluck item or putting the food item on a tray or in a bowl. Safety, Food Preparation and Serving are my #1 concern for everyone.
