2nd Annual Tri-State Area Picnic Joining hands for a day of fraternalism, food & fellowship More than 50 members from Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia gathered May 19 at Scenic View for the 2nd Annual Tri-State Area Picnic. The turnout may have been smaller than hoped for, but that dampened neither the spirit of those who came nor the enthusiasm everyone expressed for gathering again next year. The day began around 10:00 a.m. as members spread out across the grounds of Scenic View to participate in a Join Hands Day project, undertaking some light landscaping duties. Clear skies, low humidity and a gentle breeze, along with a friendly group of volunteers, made the work seem easy and quick. After completing their work, everyone gathered in the Kohut Pavilion for a bountiful picnic buffet, featuring barbecue chicken, kolbász, hamburgers and hot dogs (prepared by grill masters Jeff DeSantes and John Toth), plus a variety of sides dishes, salads, desserts and beverages provided by those attending. Somehow, many guests left enough room in their stomachs to enjoy the szalonna sütés. After lunch, guests enjoyed the rest of the day strolling to the lake, hiking up to the observation tower, playing bingo and swapping stories with old friends and new acquaintances. The weather was nearly perfect, the food plentiful and delicious and the company second to none. No wonder everyone who was there can't wait until next year's picnic!- L 2012 °
