PHCC Picnic A Success

The PHCC and PCA joint picnic was a success. Approximately 110 people showed up for the annual event. The picnic featured great food: ribs, chicken, and of course hot dogs and hamburgers with plenty of root beer and beer to wash it all down. It wasn't just about the food. Everyone enjoyed the games, too: salami toss, balloon toss ,and a new event, the "Hammer"; and of course the little ones got to swim in a pool of popcorn. After the raffle, with the top prize being two tickets to the Giants game, the picnic ended about 6:00 pm with everyone going home happy and tired.
