ANNUAL PICNIC
DUKE CITY &
CRAZY 8s

 

Eight years ago, Bob Brisco from Crazy 8s got word out that they were going to have a picnic.  CeCe Pounds was also talking about a Duke City Singles picnic. Those two began an eight-year tradition of the two clubs having an annual picnic together every August, and it has worked out VERY successfully ever since!  This year, as always, Joey Solis reigned as "CHEF of the grill!"  He has a system of getting all the burgers and hot dogs grilled up to feed the masses of square dancers who arrive hungry and ready for some serious picnic eating!!  This year was no exception as we all ate and visited under the trees of the grassy Vineyard Community "park." The weather was perfect: the temperature was in the upper 80s, but a cool breeze blew constantly, keeping us all super comfortable!  It was the best of the best!

 

We are all looking forward to next year's picnic.
Hopefully, we will have lost any extra pounds this year's picnic gave us!
