Wow, 17 years! We have grown from a small picnic with about 40 people to a mega event with 500+ for 5 years and back to a picnic for about 75 people. We went from burgers and pot luck to a catered event and back to chicken and potluck.
Tropical storms or beautiful weather, we've had a picnic the last 16 years, most on the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, so let's keep the tradition alive.
This year we will go back to Newport News Park. We've reserved the picnic shelter behind the Ranger Station just off Constitution Way in Newport News Park.
GCHR will supply fried chicken and ask that everyone brings a pot luck dish. In order to plan for enough chicken we ask that you post your "Will Attend" with the number of people in your party. Also please post what you plan to bring. If you're not sure when you first post please either email gchrgroup@gmail.com or post a note when you decide. I will try to keep an up to date list on this page so you can refer to it to help decide what you'll bring. I will not buy as much chicken as last year but will try to make sure there's enough for everyone.
We'll have the ever popular Egg Hunt, Chance Auction and 50/50 Raffle.
