A family-friendly fundraiser, the picnic will feature pony rides, face painting, a barbeque lunch, a bounce house, and craft projects throughout the four acre site.

Local artists will be featured and exhibiting home and garden arts, and the MsK Nursery will be selling its rare summer plant collection. The day’s programmed activities include live music featuring the Nyamuziwa Marimba Band, naturalist presentations, a cake walk, balloon toss, and raffle.
