Kerlin's Carry-In-Picnic and 4th of July Celebration Ron
and Carolyn Kerlin will be hosting a carry-in picnic at their home on the 4th of
July at 5PM. Please bring your own main dish and a side
dish to share. Grills will be available, as well as ice containers.
For those wishing to frolic in the water, our pool will be available. At
about 8pm, we will launch from our ramp and paddle to the mouth of Hancock
Creek, where we will raft up and watch the fireworks. Following the
fireworks, we will return to our dock. There should be no problem beating
the power boat traffic back to our house. Our launch site will be
lighted to make retrieval easy.
