Pioneer Day Picnic in Pine Valley

The weather was beautiful and pleasantly cool ... the food delicious and plentiful ... the entertainment delightful and the opportunity to socialize with neighbors and friends was (wait for it) ... priceless!  The annual B7 Ward Pioneer Day picnic in Pine Valley was not held on Pioneer Day but rather on Wednesday, July 30 but not one of more than 100 ward members seemed to mind.  Bishop Mike Bair provided corn-on-the-cob cooked in a unique way, using a (clean) garbage can and a blow torch while the ward also provided chicken and ham with ward members bringing everything else. After the "feasting" an audience gathered around for music provided by Scott Ford, with his guitar, and his performing group including a bass player and a banjo picker were joined by Boyd Kanenwisher and the entire Swansboro family (Lauretta, Pat and Patrick) who brought their guitars and wonderful singing voices to the (picnic) table.  It was a delightful evening with friends and a welcome respite from the July Dixie summer heat.  Thanks to all who participated.
