Today is our annual parish picnic.
The parish records do not indicate precisely when the tradition of an annual picnic began, but the picnic is mentioned in the 1917 diamond jubilee booklet of the parish. So 1997 is at least the 80th picnic, in a tradition which surely goes back much further. While we continue a rich tradition today, we are also aware that it is a living tradition which we enrich with our own efforts. Perhaps the most innovative feature of this year's picnic will be Baked Chicken along with the traditional Fried Chicken. There will be a Live Auction of a grand variety of practical items from 4-5 pm.
