As one of the basket-cases informed me, it's all about "buying local grub and eating/sharing with others in our own backyard - in this case along Shields Lake in Byrd Park." Who can't handle that? "Hopefully we will get a handful of true Richmond foodies showing off their picnic tins or baskets packed with local market produce." Not a foodie? If you eat, you qualify.
If you're not familiar with Byrd Park. There are three lakes: the one with the fountain, the one with the island, and then there's Sheilds Lake, the one closest to Maymont with all the tables, benches and grills under the canopy of trees; perfect for a picnic. Let's hope the weather cooperates and clears the way for some Springtime spontaneity.

Will Jasper, the littlest foodie, be there? If so, I might have to come out of my cave.
ReplyDeleteJasper is down for a walk in the park, but he's concerned about the lack of community conversation (in the form of comments) affixed to this post.
ReplyDeleteJasper's daddy is thinking about bringing a bag of "the green stuff" and an item that looks and functions like a water pipe. Hippy recognize hippy. But, it's not what you think.
