Mark your calendar for Sunday, September 11.

There will be good food (with an emphasis on local food), live music by local musicians, including the Good Shepherd Band, games for kids and a marshmallow roast – a time for fun, food and conversation. Invite your friends and neighbors as the picnic is free and open to all!
