This year's combined parish picnic was held at St. Elizabeth of Hungary church grounds. It was sponsored by the Knights of Columbus Santa Maria Council 7402, Bill Clark - Grand Knight.

The kids had a blast with the plastic castle inflatable tumble room	Here's an early adventurer. Fearless, she attempts the trampoline without a safety net.
Taking a breather before the next leap. She is checking if her bunny rabbit made it after the fall. Mommy wasn't too worried. Daddy's keeping an eye on this Kamikaze tyke.	Fr. George was an early bird. Here he confers with Jerry Burroughs as Ms. Dot Norton looks on.
Moms brought their kids and everybody had a wonderful time - the heat notwithstanding.	Here's the picnic artist waiting for some clients to paint.
Ah... a brave client finally! The artist applies the latest in face art with his sable brush. A fake mole is always good. Now for a slyer smile.	What's for dessert? Wow! Look at that spread. No wonder Bill and Peaches are stationed nearby.
Scrumptious food awaits those who are busy playing games outside. The elders were wiser... they stayed indoors where it was cooler and closer to the steam table.	The dining room was packed with happy picnickers.. The spread: Fluffy Biscuits Yeast raised rolls Seasoned green beans Grilled Hamburgers Grilled hot dogs Roast lamb Tossed green salad
The sackhop even got some of the adults involved. Mary Holley directs traffic here.	Mary Holley tightly choreographs the sackhop activity.
And the band played on. There was a lot of singing and bluegrass music played.	The pretty ladies stayed under the shade of an umbrella while being serenaded by the band.
Then there were the diehard card game players. Jim Kennedy dares Jerry to show him his cards. Jerry says, "I've got the ace of spades." Jim Kennedy says, "Show me."	Bill Clark sporting his fancy balloon hat. He wanted to play cards too but couldn't get his transportation into the small table space.
"Now where are those kids playing tug of war?"	Mary Holley hollers, "Pull... pull... pull" and the kids sure did pull. This is the winning side.
This is the losing side. They sure were working hard but their efforts were all for naught. They were outnumbered.	To close our presentation here's Bob Seep who hitched his faithfull Belgian workhorse to the trolley cart wagon. He gave all the picnickers a ride around the grounds.
