ONE-PS Picnic & Community Expo

THANK YOU TO ATTENDEES, SPONSORS, EXHIBITORS, VENDORS, CITY STAFF AND VOLUNTEERS FOR MAKING THE 16TH ANNUAL ONE-PS PICNIC & COMMUNITY EXPO ONE OF THE BEST EVER!

Higher than normal temperatures (85 degrees), but lighter than usual winds made for a pleasant day at the 16th Annual ONE-PS Picnic & Community Expo on Saturday, March 22. An estimated 1,100+ attendees - including sponsors, neighborhood organizations, businesses, City staff, nonprofits, food vendors and more - gathered for an afternoon of friendship and community engagement. Twenty neighborhoods were represented! Special thanks to picnic committee members Bob Farran, Joy Meredith, April Gunkel, Cat Gallivan, Brian Eggert, Lucy Brown and Special Events Manager Jasmine Waits. Big shout-out and thanks to Police Chief Andy Mills for judging the Best Neighborhood Booth competition and wife Cathy Mills for judging the Doggie Costume Contest.
