Summer Picnic 2023
A small but enthusiastic group gathered at Carl Schurz Park on Sunday July 23rd for the Section’s Annual Picnic.
The weather was perfect with temps in the low 80s, clear skies and a light breeze.
This year’s event was a brown bag affair, with members bringing in their own picnic lunch and purchasing their beverages from the Park’s beer and beverage stand. Bernd and Christine Kampe came especially well prepared, bringing 4 lbs of potato salad, twice what they ordered! No worries, it was shared and enjoyed by all.
After lunch everyone stay around for fellowship and conversation, including a technical discussion of the complexities of a ’73 220D manual transmission led by Todd Knutson. The event concluded around 3:30 when the last of us headed out.
Carl Schurz Park is a beautiful private facility and we’re fortunate to be able to use it. We’ll be back again on August 12th to participate in the Park’s German-American Day parade and celebration.
