B.A.A. Summer Picnic July 11, 2010

On Sunday, July 11th approximately 150-200 adults and children attended the B.A.A. annual picnic at Blossom Heath Park. Arsene VanVooren and Dale Verhaeghe, with the help of their sons, Arsene and D.J. along with Scott Schumacher, were at the park at 10:30am setting up tables for the refreshments and for the guests as well.

Folks starting arriving around noon and some signed up for the card games, which began at 2:00pm. The children’s’ games were run by President VanVooren, who did a marvelous job organizing the entire picnic.

Timothy Merryman, a new member was also sworn in by President VanVooren.

The B.A.A. Band started playing at 3:30pm, but the lightning and thunder cut their playing time short. Fortunately it only sprinkled at the park, but all could see the rain and lightning in the distance. The food was served by Mel Ferdinand, with the help of the Huyghe's. As an added treat this year, the parent club treated all with ice cream sundaes, served by Pam VanVooren and Karen Verhaeghe.

All in all, it turned out to be one of the best picnics ever thanks to all of the hard work and coordination by Arsene VanVooren. See you next year, the good Lord willing.
