Many enjoy 2010 Shining Light picnic
More than 100 attended this year's Shining Light picnic and enjoyed a time of food, fellowship and fun in the pond. This year, many brought photos of the California tour and shared them, too. The picnic also marked the first ever Shining Light pig roast, with one of our truck drivers providing a pig and roasting it on site, for some wonderful food, along with the many glorious dishes the attendees provided. In addition, the water slide was a huge hit for most of the day. Check out the photos.
