Parish Picnic - 2009

Last Sunday, September 20th, a large group of our parishioners gathered at Michael and Janet Petyo’s house for a picnic. Initially, it was supposed to be an ‘appreciation’ picnic for all who contributed to the success of our participation in the Hobart Lakefront Fest in August. However, as the date for the picnic was approaching, it was decided that this picnic would be a good opportunity for the whole congregation to get together — a rare occurrence outside of the walls of our temple.

Many of us made it to Michael and Janet’s that afternoon and enjoyed each other’s company, good conversations, brats (lots of other kinds of food, too), rain, football, tea, etc. Every one who was there brought a dish or two with them, so the table was well-laden with good food. Of especial excellence was hospitality provided by Michael and Janet Petyo who made sure that everyone had an enjoyable afternoon, even if a bit wet (but that was not their fault).

Here is a photo report on the event, with photos appearing in no particular order (or rather in the order they came off from Michael Petyo’s camera).

P.S. If for some reason you do not like the way you came out on these pictures — no problem, we can have another picnic next Sunday and re-take those shots.
