Join us for the Annual John Sanders Memorial Fall Picnic

Pack your camera and head out to the rolling hills of Brown County during the peak of vibrant fall colors.   

On Sunday, October 19th we have the Strahl Lake Shelter House in Brown County State Park reserved for the day.  Show up early morning or arrive late.  Lunch is scheduled for 1:00 pm.

Bring your own plates, drinks and utensils.  Bring your lunch, better yet, pack a covered food dish to share with others.  It’s a good old fashioned pot luck event.   The club will provide items for making S’mores.  Fun!

This is an opportunity to bring your dog for a walk, other friends or family members and meet and chat with some of your fellow club members.  Amazing photographic opportunities await you in Brown County that day.  See you there.

You can enter by either of the two entrances to Brown County State Park and there will be signs for Strahl Lake. Unless you have a season pass, entry fee per car (with Indiana license plate) is $7.00.
