Oh Baby !!
It's Picnic Week !!
... 75 of your high school buddies are going to be gathering for an afternoon of food, fun, music, games, & entertainment. It's just like a daytime kegger with salads, and not all the drinking. Yeah, we're old now. But it's going to be more fun!
Don't tell me you forgot to sign up, ...no, it's not too late, take the survey on the top left of the home page, send in your $20, and join the festivities. You don't want to be left out.
For those who haven't paid yet, Jeanne is waiting patiently for the rest of checks to roll in. Her and Luca Brazi are going to be picking up food this week, ... just sayin'. Can you pay at the picnic? Well, ... yes, ... but Jeanne doesn't like that, because she likes the finances to be all taken care of ahead of time. That's why she is the Treasurer/Banker/CFO, so let's keep her happy.
Information for Picnic Attendees
Saturday, August 13th - Picnic Schedule
Note: Forecast for Saturday is 75 degree high, partly cloudy, ... perfect
11am - Gates Open - Follow the signs, the layout has been changed from previous years. Stephanie Smith, and her campy staff of registrars, plus their smiling faces can hardly wait to greet you. At the registration desk, you'll need to sign a waiver form ( note: no one's been injured at one of our picnics, other than Bill Klemm's tooth, trying to open a beer bottle ... and it said "twist off" ), so this is to protect Linda and the committee. Bring your lanyards, everyone needs to have a name tag, ... we have stick on ones for spouses or guests. Let the hilarity begin.
10:45 Committee Photo ( we don't know where yet, but we'll tell you ).
Noon: Class of '67 photo - it would be great if we didn't have any stragglers, as we would like to get this photo in before lunch, so, if you could arrive as soon as you can to the picnic, that would be great. We've never had a picnic this big, so we don't how long it will take to organize the class. We thought about going in alphabetical order, ... but no one wanted to be in charge of that, except Steve Favorite, and the committee decided that would take too long for him to figure this out alphabetically, ... so, we're going to what any well oiled, organized committee does, we're winging it.
12:20 - 1:30 LUNCH Hamburgers, Hot Dogs cooked by 2 well known chefs, and Kevin Murray. Plus, lots of salads made by the loving hands of your classmates. Mary Ferchen says she made her fruit salad from scratch, ... pretty sure God had a hand in that Mary, ... We're not gonna lie, ... the desserts are coming from Costco, ... but, we're personally going to pick them up, ... well, ... Jeanne and Luca are. Remember, bring what you'd like to drink, but we are supplying WATER.
1:30 - 2:00 pm Costume Contest - All those who want to participate in this delightful contest will come to the stage area at 1:30. First the ladies will line up, ... you will give your name, and your character ( if it's a specific character ). Then the men will line up and do the same. Dave Johnson will be emceeing this contest. 3 x 5 cards with pencils will be passed out to the audience, and you will mark your favorite Women's costume, and you favorite Men's costume. These cards will be quickly picked up by Sue Morehouse and her 3 x 5 card picker up group, ... and counted for the Big Reveal later in the day at 4:20 pm.
2:00 - 4:00 pm - Games - You do not need to participate in the games if you choose not to, or you can participate in one or all 5. They are for your amusement. Here are the games:
Archery - overseen by Ron Dauzenroth, Sandi Stephens Dauzenroth, & Kim Favorite
Corn Hole - overseen by Don Miller & Rick Steinmetzer - this is a new game for us, plus it's Miller & Steinmetzer in charge, ... we've never had them in charge of anything before. We'll have Aid Cars standing by.
Golf Chipping Contest - overseen by Sue Akers & Don Thompson
Horseshoes - overseen by Chris Perry, all by himself.
Bungee Launch - overseen by Lanny Hansen, Laura Hanson, & Wayne Ferchen Lambert. This will be fun, and we won't risk any limbs, you simply launch the balls towards targets in the fields.
4:00 pm Games Awards - Ron & Sandi will present the awards to the Winners of the Games
4:20 pm Costume Awards - Dave will present the awards to the Women's and Men's Champion Costumes
- Plus, remember to SMILE, ... we'll have OX, our on site photographer ( thanks to the generosity of Chris & Barb Perry ) taking photos of all of you.
- We have RV parking available, but no electric or water, except for McKenzies who are coming early from Montana to help set up.
- Porta Potties on site, plus one is a handicap one if you and your bum are a little slower than you used to be, or need a little more room.
- Wow, ... that's a lot... you're going to have a lot of conviviality.
- MEMORIES - 6 HOURS TO VISIT WITH OLD FRIENDS, ...
