Picnic was crowded this year! I got there a little after 1130 and the place was already packed! I had to struggle to make it to the table to drop off my Coleslaw Macaroni Salad. Burgers, dogs and bratwurst were awesome. I was a little disappointed to see several people doubling up on hamburger patties though ...
Got to talk with Mark Vaughan, one the newest NRA Board Members. Mark spoke at the leadership forum in Indianapolis during President Trump's appearance.
Mark is my uncle, he and I ran the picnic. He's current VP, and has served as President of the club in the past as well, been on the board as long as I can remember. We had 20% + more food than last year. I was so busy I never got to eat since it ran out so quick, and I do think I will address some of that stuff next year. We are talking about making some changes making it more accommodating and giving us more room, like maybe the new pavilion next year. I have been helping him about 5 years or so now and it is definitely the busiest I have seen and most can remember. My son was the one who delivered the pledge. He loves going up there.
