Chicken Cook-Off Entry Form and Rules 

A community-wide picnic reminiscent of the large outdoor gatherings that occurred in the early and mid-1900s.  These picnics were a vital part of the social fabric of the Japanese-American community and this year's event will recreate those fun-loving celebrations and provide a vehicle for individuals, families and groups to meet and get re-acquainted.

There will be games for children and adults.  Families will bring their own picnic lunches, and bring dessert for a community sharing table.  A community sponsored mid-afternoon barbeque of hot dogs will be provided.  There will be an exhibit of old photographs from past picnics.  Live entertainment will be provided.
