DS/Autism Picnic

[Guest guest]

Hi, Everyone....I got the form to reserve the pavilion yesterday. I will

send it back at the end of the month with the estimate number of people coming.

That number can change up until July, but I need to give the park a number

when I turn in the form. I will continue to post this little blurb about the

picnic in the future for the people who rarely 'chime' in. My sister

suggested that I contact local food establishments to see if they will help

provide

food for our day since so many will be coming from out of town. I will

probably take her up on that and send out letters in April or May....depending

on

how many people plan to come.

Man...........I am sooooooooo excited about this!!!

The First Annual DS/Autism Family Picnic

It’s time to put faces on all of our cyber friends and families! All

families are invited to a picnic on July 1, in Lititz, Pa., which is located 7

miles north of Lancaster, between burg and Philadelphia. The picnic

will

be held in Lititz Springs Park. It’s a beautiful, small park with a

stoned lined stream running through it….lots of ducks, too. We will have a

sheltered pavilion with a child’s playground next to it.

Adjacent to the park is the Wilbur Chocolate factory and gift store. The

park is located off main street with many small, quaint stores. Two blocks

away is the Sturgis pretzel house where the kids can make their own pretzels.

This is also Lititz’s 250th year birthday celebration. Should you decide to

stay in the area to vacation, there will be a wonderful fireworks display on

July 4th --- the best in the county, of course!

Other near by attractions include the Amish farms, markets, and stores; the

Hershey Amusement Park, chocolate factory, and zoo; lots and lots of outlet

stores…there are no sales tax on clothes in Pa. Hershey is 40 minutes away,

burg 45 minutes away, and Philly is 11/2 hrs away.

Please e-mail Margaret Roof or this site if you wish to come. The response

has been great so far, with families coming from Pa., Va., NY, Ill, Ohio,

and Texas. Here is a web site showing the town and lodgings, etc.:

I am so excited about the picnic also Margaret. I plan to call the

Holiday Inn Express (as I recall that was the name) and make

reservations but just haven't gotten to it. Sounds like a good idea to

check out about the food, just let us know how much $ you will need.

Still three of us. Louise
