14th Annual Back To School Picnic
Started in 1991, the 49th Ward Back to School Picnic is probably our biggest community event of the year. Our dedicated 49th Ward members staff this wonderful party on the lakefront to celebrate a great summer and to remind everyone that the start of school is just around the corner. This year’s party was a huge hit with the nearly 2,000 who attended. We were able to offer something for everyone, bingo, face painting, the dance stage, the jumping jack, a mock election by the 49th Ward Young Democrats, and it was topped off by enough free food for an army. Here are a few shots of the day.
My personal thanks go out to the many who did their part to bring this event together! Nobody really knows how much it takes to get this together until they are faced with doing it. All of you make it the great time that it is.
Belated congratulations to you and Tanya! Hope you had a great day.
