Next Event: ALL IN THE FAMILY CARNIVAL PICNIC


Next Event:  All in the Family Carnival Picnic

This is a community event and ALL input and participation is appreciated and encouraged.  I love doing things to help bring us together for events but it does take a lot of work. 

Our weather for National Night Out wasn’t the best.  As a result, we have LOTS of prizes and things we purchased for the carnival portion but were unable to use.   

Here’s the basic plan:

I’ve casually talked with some of you about having a simple-to-prepare-for, Fall event.  The idea is to have a carnival type of event and combine it with a big family picnic.  What do you think?

Entertainment:
Creekside Community Church would still like to host the games at the event and we also have access to a dozen or so games that are owned by Southside Baptist Church.

Food:
Picnic! Bring Your Own Picnic. We’ll provide the chips and some drinks that were not used at NNO.

Music:
??? – Your ideas.

Other Entertainment:
??? – Pet parade?
Puppet show
Law enforcement visit? (Fire trucks)

Date:
We can’t please everyone, and we know MANY kids are busy with sports. So we need to have a general consensus of what day would be best:

Saturday or Sunday AFTERNOON on:  Sept 22/23; Sept 29/30; OR  Oct 6/7

Why these dates?  Weather is usually more comfortable during this time; everyone's back into regular "school" mode including myself.

Let’s see what we can come up with.
