Bridlemile 2007 National Night Out Potluck Picnic
About 35 people turned out on a very overcast August - felt more like June! - evening for the 2007 BNA Picnic.
It's 6:30 the firetruck is here, where is everybody?
Kathy and Greg havin' a chat.
Hey the fire persons are giving out hats and stuff.
Hangin' out with the Fire folks.
Oops, I dropped my hat.
How many kids can fit in the back?
Where'd they all go; but wait there's room for more in front too.
Everyone's here and...
having a great time.
The policemen are giving out stuff too!
Officer Brian Hughes, Kathy Bambeck, and Michael Boyer.
Fire truck's gone, now what?
Let's get in the Police car!
I'd like to get on that too.
Cool!
Everyone gets a turn.
Yes, this is what makes picnics fun!
Special thanks to Kathy Bambeck for arranging for the Fire Truck, Police, utensils and more. And to Greg Schifsky for bringing the tables and chairs. Unless otherwise noted all photos by Victor von Salza.
