THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT THE PICNIC – There will be a dunk tank again this year. If anyone wants to be dunked, bring a towel and dry clothes.
EVERYONE should bring some cash to play the candy wheel (25 cents a spin), Dunk the Deacon (one ball for a dollar or six balls for $5.00), and purchase 50/50 raffle tickets ($1 per ticket or ten tickets for $5.00). There will be 3 separate 50/50 drawings throughout the day.
Remember to bring the post card you received in the mail to enter for a chance to win a Sheetz gift card.
There will be two bounce houses for the kids.
The cornhole tournament is free to play. Sign up with your partner at the registration table on the day of the picnic. The games will start around 1:30, so be sure you and your partner are signed up by 12:30. There are cash prizes for first, second, and third place.
If you are willing to lend us your cornhole game, please bring the game on the morning of the day of the picnic. Only 4-foot by 2-foot boards with 4 bags please.
Lunch will be fabulous!
