I just returned from the picnic. We had lots of good food, good fellowship, good door prizes, some great show and tell items, and fantastic weather. It was a first rate affair. When Steve does something, he does it in a first class way. Pictures will follow.

Thanks Steve.

Get home, jump on the computer to start a picnic review thread and what do I find, TarHeel beat me to it.

Great time. It looks like it gets bigger every year and next year we will have to rent the RBC Center or something.

Good to see everyone.

George

Steve you are the best hands down. It was great meeting old friends and making new ones in person. I could not have had a better time or spent the day with a better group of friends.

Amen and Amen! Mary and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves at the picnic. Can't think of a thing that could have been done better.

Kudo's to Steve and all his "elves" who put this together. Already looking forward to next year. Or maybe a fall affair??

The food and the atmosphere couldn't have been better. Thanks
to Steve and all that had a helping hand in making it happen.

It was great putting faces to people I had only met on the internet
before. It makes it a lot more personal now when I see their posts.

Again...Thanks Steve.

If you would have came to the picnic you wouldn't need to be impatient

Anyways - lets see... the usual... everybody was cool - food was the bomb and I even won a prize.

Oh and Earl TRIED to entice me to the dark side by showing me his segmented bowl - really fantastic work.
