Walkerville’s 2nd annual Community Picnic and Cornhole Tournament Saturday saw many residents out for a rewarding and fun day of activities.
Prior to the picnic, a ribbon cutting at the Pioneer House Museum celebrated the home’s new look after its first paint job in over 30 years. The event featured speakers from granting organizations, the Community Foundation and Great Lakes Energy, as over 20 locals looked on.
Over 30 residents and neighbors enjoyed a picnic, kids activities, a 50/50 raffle, baked goods/produce sale and a cornhole tournament featuring six different teams at the Walkerville Village Park. Winners of the cornhole tournament included First Place, “Miss You Uncle Joe”, Second Place, “42 North” and Third Place, “Hallack Farms”.
The event was organized by the Walkerville Thrives Rebuilding Community Committee. Walkerville Thrives' next meeting will be Tuesday, August 26 at 5 p.m. when they will be reviewing this year’s picnic and begin planning their Pancake Breakfast fundraiser for the Walkerville Fire Department set for Saturday, Oct. 11. Interested community members are invited and encouraged to attend. Please email walkervillercc@gmail.com to receive regular emailed updates.
