9th Annual Picnic!

Details

Join us for the Nineth Annual Freethinkers' Picnic!

We will be at Pavilion #4 this year, located in Marty Snook Park in Halfway. The picnic will be held rain or shine.

Our pavilion includes restrooms, a play area for kids, volley ball and horseshoe provisions, two grills, electric outlets, privacy, and plenty of parking.

OPEN TO ALL LIKE-MINDED PEOPLE. Not a member of our group, but like to spend time with like-minded people? You're invited! Pease RSVP here or email localatheist@gmail.com.

Feel free to comment below with what you plan to bring if you'd like to try to avoid duplicating efforts. Worst case scenario, we'll order pizza! 😉

Note that we have to pay $60 to use the pavilion and surrounding park. Also, this year Mike C. has volunteered to purchase the hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, and fixings so that everyone else can bring a truly pot luck item. As a result, there will be a small fee to defray the costs. The more people we have attending, the lower the cost per person. Please bring some cash, perhaps $10 a person, for when we pass the "collection plate" to reimburse Ed and Mike C.

Our reservation begins at 5:00PM, and some of us will arrive then to begin setting up and cooking. Feel free to arrive when it is convenient to you. We are allowed to stay until dusk.
