In place of the annual Gilbert Kuyper Memorial Picnic at Edgewater Park, the S.P.I.R.E. board of directors is offering an exciting opportunity of all-day outdoor activities.

A hayride or golf cart tour of the grounds will kick off the morning, followed by chapel and a concert featuring Deliver Me and a petting zoo in memory of Karen Thisius.
