The BCA wishes to acknowledge the following for another successful and well attended Buckman Picnic in the Park. First, thank you to our financial and “in-kind” local business sponsors without whom the picnic could not happen: Killian Pacific, Mill Creek Residential Trust, Coca-Cola Bottling of Portland, Andersen Construction, Venerable Properties, Revolution Hall, School Specialty Inc., Michael Italian Beef and Sausage, Beam Construction, Wentworth Subaru, Portland Spirit, Bolliger Insurance, Peter Stark and several neighborhood individuals.
Also thank you to our awesome volunteers from the Kiwanis Club, Janus Youth and Hinson Church. Finally, a huge round of well-deserved appreciation to our fabulous picnic organizers, the “Buckman Picnic Team”, including Nancy, Greg, Jim B, Jim E, Rie, Rick, Sam, Bill and Susan. Producing the picnic is fun and we welcome your participation for next year! We should have a new “Splash Pad” at Colonel Summers Park next year so imagine the fun.
