OVER 350 PEOPLE attended the eighth annual BWNA National Night Out picnic on August 1, 2000. According to Roger Meyer, chair of the picnic committee, the crowd consumed a lot of food: 214 hamburgers, 68 gardenburgers, 100 hot dogs, 12 cases of soda pop, 75 pints of Odwalla juice and 100 bottles of water. The burgers and dogs were topped off with 10 heads of lettuce, 11 lbs of onions, 18 lbs of tomatoes, and 185 slices of cheese. In addition neighbors brought salads, deserts, bread, fruit, chips and dips.
A special thanks to Roger Meyer for organizing this wonderful event; to Wilshire United Methodist Church for the use of their tables and chairs and to the following local businesses that generously donated food, prizes, drinks, utensils, and support for the picnic.
