Our Summer Picnic was a success on August 13, 2024!

Our Annual Summer Picnic was held on August 13th at Aleo Lake!

Everyone who attended had a an excellent feast from the covered dish event!

And, many stories were shared with lots of happy members and guests!

This annual event is held at the beautiful and picturesque home of one of our members.

Thanks to our Member who very graciously opened her beautiful venue for us again this year.

Her refurbished barn makes a perfect place to set out our covered dish feast, protected for the hot sun and any stray rain cloud.

Every member of the Society is always invited to attend and it is a time for all to sit, talk, and eat; strengthening our friendships and

our commitment to keep the local history of the Laurel Highlands safe for future generations.

It’s a great time of relaxation and getting to know fellow members.

Sample the different flavored dishes and desserts. The entire grounds are always manicured in a wonderful presentation.
