Due to circumstances outside of our control, we have learned today that our primary food vendors for the picnic will not be able to serve food. We are disappointed as this has been a great addition to the event in the past. We tried to come up with a replacement option this morning, but unfortunately at this late date it was not possible. We still expect to have sno-cones, popcorn, and possibly some other small items available. We are also working to find an organization to provide sealed beverages at the picnic site for a donation, if anyone is involved in a non-profit that would like to fundraise tomorrow.

All other activities are on still on schedule and expected to run as normal.

We encourage those planning to attend the Picnic and Parade to either pack a lunch or consider visiting our many sponsors and businesses that will be open tomorrow along 53rd Street.

We apologize greatly for any inconvenience this causes individuals and will work hard to make sure that food and beverages are readily available at future picnics.

Sincerely,

The 4th on 53rd Committee
