Annual Spring Picnic - Rain or Shine
Saturday, February 28, at 11:00 AM
Join us on Saturday, February 28, for food and fun at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park. This is an all-age event for the young, the young at heart, and everyone in between. All you need to bring is a potluck dish (no BBQing please) and your appetite. You will have the opportunity to compete in games and relay races for fabulous prizes! Musicians are encouraged to bring their instruments for a jam session sing-along. We will be under a ramada, so light showers will be no problem. 
Where: Rotary Ramada at McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park, 7301 East Indian Bend Road, Scottsdale.
