Picnic Safety

Summer picnics are such fun. You don't want to take home any undesirable guests or have to leave the party early because of accidents.

Remember to scout out our picnic location to look for unwanted guests like ants and bees. Try to stay away from trash cans, standing water and dense woods. These areas attract ants, bees and mosquitos.

Please be careful of the grill especially open flames and put that fire out when you leave.

Here are some more tips to keep your event a happy one.
