Picnic Season!!!

A Yogi Bear delight… “Pick-a-nik season!” As summer comes close to an end, why not plan one of the easiest and most relaxing events? Picnics can be planned for your family, job, church and even a group of friends. Picnics are a classic tradition where loved ones can have a great time enjoying each other outdoors. Picnics can serve as many different functions: reunions, church gatherings, competition events, games, relaxation, or a romantic date! Here are a few things that may help your picnic be an unforgettable and simple event!

• Planning a romantic picnic for two? A picnic isn’t a picnic without great food on the menu, make it even better with a bottle of wine and don’t forget the blanket! Bring your old photo album or scrapbook and take a trip down memory lane. Pack a deck of cards and fire up some friendly competition!

• Family picnic for 4? Make a few sandwiches, grab some Rice Krispy treats and a box of Capri Suns. Go to a local park where there’s a fun playground where the kids can play for hours and you and your spouse can enjoy the breeze while watching them. Play a few exciting rounds of charades or Simon Says. (Enjoy the park and don’t let Mother Nature get the best of you…don’t forget the insect repellant and/or sunblock.)

• Helping out your job for a company picnic? Allow your attendees to interact by hiring local entertainment – live music, caricature artists, a photo booth, or a petting zoo (if kids are invited).
