  • Summer Solstice Picnic 2025

    Summer Solstice Picnic 2025

    June 21, 2025  11:00 am - 2:00 pm
    Ottawa Park Liz Pearson Shelter, 2301 Gunckel Blvd, Toledo, Ohio, 43606, United States

    Join us on the Summer Solstice for our annu­al pic­nic. It will be potluck style — bring a dish to share. We will have a hot grill if you wish to cook some food and we will pro­vide water and soft drinks as well as some condi­ments.

    We will be at Ottawa Park using the Liz Pearson Shelter which is off Kenwood Blvd. Although the sched­uled time is 11 am to 2 pm we have shel­ter reserved all day so bring some toys and games to share and have a good time. There is a play­ground next to the shel­ter and trails to hike if you need to walk off your food.

    We have a sign-up form so you can let us know what you plan to bring. This is a potluck so feel free to bring a dish to share. We will have a char­coal fire if you would like to grill some­thing. There is no set types of food allowed this is just to inform peo­ple what is being brought to avoid dupli­cates. We will have some lim­it­ed ham­burg­ers and hot dogs you can cook up and we will be pro­vid­ing plates and uten­sils if need­ed
