COMMUNITY ANTICIPATES UPCOMING WANYEDALE PICNIC

Waynedale Picnic KidsIt looks like there will be great weather this weekend for some summer fun! Celebrating its 14th year, the Waynedale Community Picnic will be on August 27th from 10am to 3pm at the Waynedale Park. The picnic is a FREE, family friendly event that feeds and entertains 2,000+ Waynedale guests for the event’s afternoon. This year’s picnic is presented by The Waynedale News, Circle City Audio, VFW Post 1421, Robinson Family Eyecare Clinic, Waynedale Marathon/ Jerry’s Marathon and Hanson Aggregates and made possible by over a hundred local businesses and organizations who have donated to the community event. The Waynedale Community Picnic is open to all families in the Waynedale community.

The Waynedale Picnic organizers would like to extend their sincere thanks to the many contributors of the event and encourage all attendees and community members to utilize the services and products of those businesses. We have many great organizations in Waynedale who care about our community, be sure to check them out!

Throughout the event, there will be a photographer and videographer taking pictures of the fun activities and vendors. After the event, you might even find yourself, family and friends on Waynedale.com/picnic!
