The picnic will be a potluck-style event. The PGSC will be providing essential barbecue items including burgers, brats, and some vegetarian options. You are encouraged to bring additional food/drinks, as well as lawn and board games. Here is a guideline for suggested item based on your year — this is a rough guideline and by no means a strict requirement:
- First: none – just come and enjoy!
- Second: additional main course
- Third: snacks & sides
- Fourth: beverages (glass and alcohol are prohibited by the parks department)
- Fifth and above: dessert
Additionally, there will be a donation jar at the event to help pay for main course items up-fronted by the PGSC. We will have limited cooler space. We are not permitted to have alcohol in the park.
