Location Change

Valley Forge FD apparently lost our reservation for their picnic area. So Saturday's picnic will now be help in St. Michael's Park, Jacob St., Mont Clare, PA. This is on the Schuylkill Canal and should be a beautiful setting. You can visit the Web site at http://www.schuylkillcanal.com/index.html.

St Michaels Park has full, clean, restroom facilities, a pavilion, lots of tables, power outlets, fireplaces, plenty of sunny and shaded grassy area and the desired horseshoe pits, all of which have been reserved for our use. The park is flat (no hills to climb) and scenic since it lies on the banks of the Schuylkill Navigation Canal.
