End of 2021 Summer Picnic at Lands End Property. See pics below...
Roughly 20 people came and went, we got a little rain (no one melted). No body left with an empty tummy. Great burgers and hot dogs, grilled onions, 4 different bean salads, a fresh spinach, raspberry, walnut salad and 2 kinds of coleslaw, fresh veggies and to top it off, 3 kinds of cookies (and more) and a Cherry Dump Cake that was the crowd favorite! Big thanks to our set up crew and our Grill masters!!! We hope to see you next year!
The GYLA End of Summer picnic was a good time! Great dishes, fun chatter.
