2017 CTCC PICNIC
On Sunday, August
6, Joan and Lloyd Schellin once again welcomed CTCC picnickers to their
beautiful Garden Prairie farm. The
weather was ideal. Two members drove their little 'birds while others came in
everyday cars as it had been pointed out that it was a picnic not a car show
and that the Sunday night traffic going home might be unpleasant.
All were delighted to see Paul and Urszula Mounts and Lee and Gina Bakakos who were in town from their homes in
Dan Mrozek, Jr.
served again as chief pork chop and hamburger griller while Ken Smizinski and
Bob Sroka shucked the recently picked corn. The buffet tables held beans,
salads, rolls and melons. There were many dessert choices including Mary Keil's
delicious coconut cake of which Paul approved!
There was a
short business meeting during which Ken Smizinski thanked Lloyd and Joan for
their gracious hospitality, discussed upcoming events and introduced Sean. Pete
Kramer talked briefly about the Fall Tour that he and Marylu are planning. The
group sang to those celebrating birthdays in August.
Some of the
almost fifty attendees stayed a little later and enjoyed a fireworks display.
Lots of ooohs and aaahs. Thank you, Lloyd, that was fun!
Members generously donated diapers and pull-ups for the People's
Many pitched in to help clean up. Thank you to Joan and Lloyd for hosting another wonderful picnic.
