Bring the whole family! Kids will enjoy various activities, while adults can two-step on the dance floor, play a round of bingo, or just enjoy the live music and food!
There will also be a dance contest (including dance lessons, if you’re feeling a bit rusty). If you’re the competitive type, join the volleyball or flag-football tournaments. And as always, we’ll have our annual softball tournament, so go cheer on your favorite team!
NOTE: For softball, you MUST contact tournament coordinator Nick Reale (nicholas.reale@gmail.com) to register your team or to join an existing team.
We can’t make this picnic work without our wonderful volunteers, and we’re always looking for more folks to show their Texas friendly spirit by pitching in. If you can help for part of the picnic, please contact our volunteer coordinators Michael Yancey and Robert Peters, and let them know you can give a hand.
