Great day at the Scottish Rite-Shriners Members picnic at the Lakeview Pavilion in Mahoney State Park! 80 Scottish Rite Masons, Shriners, and their and families attended the picnic, which was timed for after the Gateway to the West parade in nearby Blair, Nebraska. The picnic was also the first event for some members, after the past year of social distancing due to COVID-19. The Culinary Masters served freshly made pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, chips, with plenty of beer, soda, and water. Members made their own s’mores afterward on the grill.

The weather was a perfect 85°, and the pavilion was large enough for everyone to comfortably enjoy the shade. Mark your calendar for next June’s picnic at Mahoney State Park.
