They are few but there are some of picnics growing up.
Because they were different, picnic engaged all seven of us kids on Detroit's east side.
My parents packed stuff, and, we carried the buckets and tiny shovels for the sand.
Such thoughts pour out these days as Mohamed Abbass, Shimone and Dorit Edut, David Kasbow,
Melissa, among others, prepare for the interfaith picnic Sunday, Aug. 5th near the children's play ar of the historic jewel in Detroit's crown, Belle Isle at Jefferson and East Grand Boulevard.
The buzz has begun.
People are calling. Some are making reservations.
One gal wants to hand out samples of her salads in her dishware for sale.
Soccer, volleyball, board games, ethnic dancing, a food festival, and more, are among the line-up of activites for young and older alike.
They'll all come.
Jewish, Christian, Muslim and more.
A picnic basket, hot dogs, hamburgers, relish, chips. . .
And, a diverse group of people from metropolitan Detroit.
A urban and suburban unity picnic from 12 noon until 4 pm August 5th with a worship service at
12:30 for all.
I won't miss it.
Join me.
