People no longer swim at the nearby beach as we did at that time. On Sundays in the 1950 s our meadow had many cars parked in it as folks came to fish and also for a place that the children could swim. We charged the large sum of 25 cents for each Car that drove into our meadow. When the picnic was for my husband’s family of brothers and cousins, we used the flat-bed wagon as a table. It certainly, could hold a lot of food as folks came from as far away as Delaware. This year the family picnic will be in a Community Park. There will be play equipment nearby for the children who now come from as far away as ECKROTHBROS. FARM EQUIPMENT RD #2, Box 24A New Ringgold, PA 17960 f717)943-2131 4910 Kemsvtite Rd.
