IncrEDIBLE Picnic Sun. Sept. 22 – now with photos
A great event! We fed at least 137 people! We didn’t quite run out of food, except buns, but it was close, so it’s a good thing we closed off ticket sales the day before. The wind was really strong with a cold front coming in, so seating was indoors in the gym.
It was an absolutely delicious feast, and there were lots of familiar and unfamiliar faces, making a great mix.
Thanks to all who came, and especially to the cooks who volunteered their labour for the event, even though it’s what they do for a living! True community spirit.
Thanks also to the people who cleaned; know that you really made a difference. And congratulations to Meredith, Ma Bell, who masterminded the whole thing.

We will be making decisions about food quantity before the event, so

Please note: the “Family” price is intended to enable people with children at home (who are often cash-strapped) to attend together. The intention is that adults pay $15 each, even if coming as a couple. This is a fundraiser after all, though with much deliciousness involved, and also a community event and celebration of local food.
