On deck: Picnic in the Park

You braved the masses for the Midnight Garden Ride — well done!  Now, make sure your calendar has you joining us for our next enterprise — Picnic in the Park Savannah Wheelie Sunday Oct 3.

As with last year, we’ll staff a bike valet at the park for the concert and picnic.  We’ll also have a Savannah Wheelie spin around town before the music starts. There is a theme for picnic setups, and we’re hoping to make a strong showing. From the Creative Coast:

SAVANNAH, Ga., September 3, 2010 /www.savannahga.gov/ — The City of Savannah presents the beloved Savannah tradition, Picnic in the Park, in Forsyth Park on Sunday, Oct. 3. This year’s event will feature Strings of the South, a specially formed string ensemble under the direction of local talent Eddie Wilson.

This year’s picnic theme is “Pinknic in the Park,” in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness month, held during October. Picnickers are encouraged to make creative use of the color pink when planning their picnics. Those who enter their spreads in the picnic contest, called “Pinknic in the Park,” will be eligible to win an array of prizes, as well as bragging rights as Savannah’s best picnicker.

Shoot an email to rides@bicyclecampaign.org if you’re interested in volunteering at the bike valet or in helping design and implement the theme. We’re nothing if not pink.
