Restorium enjoys grand picnic
 |
| Folks young and old turned out on a perfect spring day June 26 for the Friends of the Restorium's annual community picnic and barbecue. |
The Friends of the Restorium send out thanks to the community for the great turn out Sunday, June 26, for their annual Community Picnic and Barbecue Fundraiser, which everyone agrees was a great success.
Dirks, Larry DeVore, Larry Pennock and Tom Sumpter manned the grill, turning out hotdogs and hamburgers grilled to perfection. A table groaned under the weight of salads and baked beans donated by 12 local churches, and 70 home-baked pies were donated by the ladies of the Church of God in Christ Mennonite, all served up by members of the Friends of the Restorium.
While folks were happily filling their plates and enjoying good company and beautiful weather, Jeannie Robinson, Kathi O'Leary, nine-year-old Justin DeChambeau, the Williams Boys and the duo of Cindy Hortan and Paul Bartlett filled the air with sweet music.
Restorium staff provided tours of the Restorium facilities, and Restorium resident Ray Olson gave tours of the beautiful Restorium garden.
The event wrapped up with a pie and surplus food auction by Richard Hollenbeck and auctioneer Willie Peachey.
