Recreation Committee narrows picnic plans to save costs, approves menu change

Recreation Committee · May 12, 2026

Summary

Committee opted not to hire a DJ for the 2026 annual picnic, will use borrowed speakers and a playlist, set aside about $150 for tent setup help, confirmed vendor choices for salads and pulled pork, and approved adding sausage and peppers to the menu.

The Recreation Committee on May 12 confirmed several cost-saving and logistical choices for its Annual Picnic 2026, including not hiring a DJ and instead using borrowed DJ-quality speakers and a pre-made playlist. Members said the picnic tent is now in the committee’s possession; they set aside approximately $150 in case consultation is needed to raise it.

The committee reviewed staffing and vendor plans: ten volunteers are confirmed with a goal of five additional helpers. The group agreed to purchase deli salads from Clark's Sunrise Market and reuse the prior pulled-pork vendor. The committee also voted to add sausage and peppers to this year’s menu and discussed the possibility of hiring an ice cream truck if estimates arrive before the June meeting. The picnic will be advertised starting May 13 with a Save-the-Date notice.
