Vendors, Politics and Other Housekeeping Issues..........
Every year from time to time we receive requests from various vendors seeking permission to set up a commercial booth for the weekend. Currently picnic is being run as a commercial free, non-vendor event with free admission. That format may be re-visited at some future date, but for now and out of respect for our full-time business owners and neighbors in the Livingston area, the event will remain non-commercial and vendor free.
We totally support and encourage civilized public political debate. Just don't engage in it here at the picnic the weekend of 7/30-8/1. This is neither the time nor the place. Anyone wishing to circulate petitions, distribute political paraphernalia, or engage in public political rhetoric on behalf of any political party or cause will be politely asked to take it across the street. You can stand over there and scream all you want to. Although we choose to cordially invite the general public to share the weekend with us and friends, this is a private event taking place on private property. We can and will kick your butts out if you can't behave.
We love dogs and they are welcome at the picnic. Please remember that not everyone is a dog lover. If your dog is not trained to voice command and/or doesn't play well kids and other dogs please keep them on a leash or consider leaving them home.
Just a reminder that this is a dry camp. We have no outside source of fresh water suitable for drinking, cooking or bathing. The exterior taps at the house are for lawn irrigation only. We generally set up a freshwater hand bathing station near pot luck and picnic area however quantity is limited. Fresh bottled water is available at the Albertsons store just down the road...........

Howdy Do!
Lt to Rt: Penny Nelson; Yvonne Allison; Ken Nelson; Doc Allison
Ken Nelson was called to pastor the Lutheran Church in South Lake, South Dakota and following a teary but wonderful send-off party, Ken, Penny, and Isabelle moved on to the next chapter of their lives in South Dakota in late April.
Ken, Penny, Isabelle and Stanley were instrumental in the annual organization of this picnic and their efforts will be sorely missed.
Fortunately we do have a good crew of volunteers for this year picnic and we are looking forward to hosting it again!
