2007 Summer Picnic & HOURS Folk Festival

LOCAL CURRENCY FOLK FESTIVAL & SIXTH ANNUAL SUMMER PICNIC

Mark your calendars and be sure to join us for an early start to summer at our sixth annual summer picnic, Sunday, June 10, from 1-5pm at the Thompson Shelter at Avery Park in Corvallis. We have a fun filled event planned for you this year of music, activities, community, and fun. Everyone is welcome.
This event is free of charge and open to all, but we are requesting donations to help us pay for the rising costs we’ve encountered this year using the city park.
The fun starts at 1pm! Here are a couple of reminders to make your afternoon and evening more enjoyable.

o Bring along a blanket or folding chair to sit on and enjoy the music.
o Please bring your own service-ware and utensils for the potluck.
o We will provide the placards for you to identify your dish. This will be helpful for those who have dietary restrictions.
o Please do not bring your pets to the picnic.
o Everyone is encouraged and welcome to bring items to trade. Please let us know in advance if you would like us to reserve a space for you. You may show up spontaneously the day of the picnic with items to trade, but we cannot guarantee there will be table space for you.
o And finally, don’t forget to bring your HOURS with you, and your friends.
