It will be the first Fairfield County community picnic in recent years.The plans call for a traditional family-style cookout, with TDFC providing plenty of hamburgers and hot dogs. But the event organizers, the fourth-day team of Duncan Brown and Rich Kelly, emphasize that the picnic will not be so much “potluck” as “pot trust.” “We’ll need the participants to provide all the other picnic stuffs: condiments, plates, cups, plastic ware, desserts, salads, soda, and water, as well as games, instruments, lawn chairs, and blankets,” Duncan reported at the annual meeting. “And we trust God that they will.”
