UPDATE: Come one, come all!! It's Official!!!

The 2013 DetroitYES Picnic is on Sunday, June 23 at 12 noon on Belle Isle.

Bring a dish to pass, your main course to grill [[or not), and chairs for you and your group.

Now that May has blessed us with a snow-free landscape, thoughts turn to the annual DetroitYes picnic. Since no thread has yet been started, I thought it was not too early to start one.

a recent drive around Belle Isle reviewed the whole west end is already covered in viewing stands and concrete barriers. I tried to get over to the Flynn Pavilion but a bridge was closed off so I could not loop around. In short, even if the race isn't the end of May, getting to the usual location may be problematic.

i hope someone has better info.

tradition sez, we gather to roast animal flesh and eat sand pail pudding on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend.

Everyone, newbies and old hands are invited and encouraged to attend.

Tradition also sez that the honorable Kathleen is the boss, assisted by Der Grillmeister.

i just wanted to get the ball rolling.

for those who don't know. You bring your own stuff to grill and usually a dish to pass.

so, we don't know when, or where, but something is coming and you should think about attending.
