Picnics in the Park

We’ll provide picnic blankets, a main course for a meal, beverages, some yard/board games, and goodie bags to show our appreciation for you. You only need to bring your wonderful self, but you’re welcome to bring snacks to share, your own picnic blanket, and games or activities.
