What better way to celebrate the changing of seasons than by joining geofriends for a picnic outdoors!  The SLAGA Fall Picnic was held Saturday, October 19th at the Kirkwood City Park and was hosted by SLAGA's own Treasurer nan-d1955. The day's festivities included a 50-50 drawing, Survey drawing, Geo Bingo, a Travel Bug Table, Premium Member drawing, and Closest to the Pin contest. While that fun was going on, wonderful volunteers cooked brats, burgers and hotdogs to accompany the many delicious side dishes, salads and desserts brought and shared by the many attendees.  This Fall picnic was a grand success due to the wonderful efforts of the CO, the SLAGA board members and the volunteers listed here:

 
  • Setup: arabbit&ubuck; MrsSpongy; Strider; Crowesfeat30; Spiritwolf922
  • Cooks: Tricks33 (Dad); Uga_Mom; DFox88
