Summer brings picnics!!!

Yesterday, June 17 2008, was the Purple Cat Bocce Picnic! It was held at the Pacentrano Club in Youngstown, and was a rockin' good time! It brought together both Purple Cat locations, and was an entire day full of activities for the folks at The Purple Cat. There was Bocce and food; volleyball and food; kickball, Frisbee, cornhole and food! And how could we forget all of the great food?! :) The picnic began around 9am with coffee, donuts, and Bocce! Other games commenced throughout the day, and everyone had an absolute blast! We even had some friends drop by to visit! Stay tuned for pictures from the event! We'll post them soon at http://www.ironandstring.org/!

THEN, this Saturday, June 21, is the Golden String Volleyball Picnic! It's being held at Boardman Park, and it will start around 12 noon! Stop down and come hang out with us! It's sure to be a day full of summer fun! And we will have news and pictures posted at a later date.

Hooray for summer fun! We hope you can come celebrate with us!
