Food, Folks and Fun at Annual Picnic

Ivy’s Annual Church Picnic was held on Sunday, June 7. It was a huge success… good friends, good food (as always) and fun for folks of all ages. We were doubly lucky, as the rain threatened but held off until the party was over… and everything was cleaned up!

It wasn’t all about food this year, as everyone could get their faces painted, play a little Bingo “Ivy Style” and take a shot in the Free-Throw tournament. There was a cake walk… a sno-cone station… and, of course, hamburgers and hotdogs (and tons of delicious sides).

Thanks to all of the committees who teamed up and made this such a fun event for everyone.
