2008 Picnic
We plan to have a picnic on 14 June 2008. Everyone is invited; bring the whole family (children, grandchildren, whatever). It is, of course, casual. No fees or pre-registration required. It is BYOFB ("Bring Your Own Food and Beverages"); we’ll put everything on the picnic table in potluck fashion. You might want to bring a chair or two (depending upon how much you’ve spread out since the graduation) if you want to sit down, or bring a pickup with a sturdy tailgate.
The picnic will be at Two Rivers Park shelter #5, which is (conveniently) located on Two Rivers Parkway. We've had all of the picnics there, and it seems like a great place for this sort of thing. Besides the usual park things like swings and such, it has a swimming pool and wave pool. And, yes, there are restrooms.
We are planning something new with this year's picnic: a golf outing. It was a hit at the reunion so Sandy Strohl has volunteered to spearhead this one. Sandy will be making arrangements with the Two Rivers Golf Course for tee times so contact her as soon as possible so that she can put you on the list!
How do you get there? Glad you asked. Here's a crudely drawn map and here's an Adobe aerial view map. Go down Briley Parkway from the Southlake junction (near the high school, remember?) past Lebanon Road to the Two Rivers Parkway exit. If you get to Opry Mills or, worse, the Opryland Hotel, you’ve gone too far (unless you’re coming from the Gallatin Road area, in which case you’re about a mile short - but that’s another story). The park is on the right; bear to the left after you enter. Then bear right just past the swings and such; the road loops
around and finally parallels Briley Parkway. Some of us will be there around 11:00 AM to start setting up, and, I guess, we’ll start eating around Noon or 12:30 - whatever the hungry majority dictates.
