Community Picnic 2025

The Platte Clove Picnic July 21, 2025

The first Platte Clove Picnic was held over twenty years ago on Dale Lane, at the home of Maryanne Farrell and her brother Joe.

This year, undaunted by the rain, our Platte Clove community opened the doors of the old church and pitched canopy tents outside. One was for the musicians, first a drum circle followed by a lively brass band made up of our Bruderhoff neighbors. One was for the buffet table, filled with food contributed by the community. Add a barbecue, lawn games, and a steady stream of visitors, and the stage was set for a fun afternoon. Highlights of the event included the unveiling of the book lending box built by Mario Meyers and the announcement of our fundraising campaign to put on a new roof.
