My experience at the 6th ward picnic

Alderman Lyle held a 6th Ward picnic this past Saturday at Tuley Park.

Attenders got the opportunity to get a hot dog or hamburger, chips, and a drink, as well as popcorn, nachos, italian ice, all for free.

There was entertainment (music, dancing, face painting), vendors, and displays (such as the fire department).

We unfortunately got there a little late (about 1pm), and by the time we were finished eating & meeting, we missed things such as ID's for kids.

The photos definitely don't show the scope of the picnic.

We'll post any other accounts of the picnic (including info like numbers)

The photo on the right has Mia enjoying some time with a dog. His owner, nathan (and his wife, not shown) were part of the crowd.



The photo on the left has my daughter, Mia, enjoying a hot dog, in an unusual style.

People of all ages showed up, and mingled.












We met new friends such as Mary Garrett. She's been in the neighborhood for several years, and has been to this picnic for a number of years. She noted how it was a bit smaller in some ways (in terms on vendors -- due to the economy), but bigger than others (more food options)

It was definitely a pleasure to meet her a picnic, and hope to see her again in the future.

It was a great time, and hope to enjoy it more in the future.

Anyone have their own stories?
