This year’s gathering promises some special additions and a few changes. While the traditional raffle will not be held this year, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase plumeria starters in a variety of bloom colors. Prices will range from $10 to $35, depending on the size of the plant. Adding to the festive atmosphere, Programs Chair Nancy Hagan has arranged for live banjo music, offering a toe-tapping backdrop to the evening. Guests who play string instruments or harmonica are encouraged to bring them along and join in the merriment. The Society will provide grilled hot dogs and buns, along with condiments, water, and all necessary utensils. Guests are asked to bring a picnic-style side dish, salad, chips and dip, dessert, or any favorite dish to share with the group. The event is held outdoors, and attendees are reminded that a light breeze is typical during the evening hours, so they should dress accordingly for comfort. The potluck picnic is a long-standing tradition that brings together history lovers, neighbors, and local families in a celebration of community spirit and summer’s simple pleasures.
