Pack 3 Picnic is . . . Rain or Shine!

As our chairman, Jim Spichiger, says: "If it's raining, bring a doggie bag, 'cause the turnout may drop, but we'll still have food to serve." 3:00 pm is the start time, no matter what!

Some have asked about what they're supposed to bring; the word went out through den leaders, but if you never got the word, or lost the e-mail in spam filters, the breakdown is --

Wolves – 12 ears husked, uncooked corn on the cob
Bears – non-perishable salad or vegetable/relish tray
Webelos 1 – desserts
Webelos 2 – snacks, chips, etc.
Boy Scouts – desserts and fresh fruit

[Post event follow-up: I hope to have some photos to post here soon; for those of you who worried, thanks, but we had a great event! True, we spent four hours setting up, had two and a half hours of fun, and tore down in twenty minutes (and what a twenty minutes, after the park ranger came through on his horse to clear the area), but the last load was packed and car door slammed . . . when the first drops fell. Then it poured!!!]
