The Tacoma Wheelmen’s Club annual PICNIC will happen after all - on Sunday, August 26.
This year the festivities will be at Burton Acres Park on Vashon Island. Because of the island location, we are having both a bike ride to the picnic and a "shuttle service". The shuttle will take this form: people will drive their cars to the ferry dock at Point Defiance, and from here they will walk on the ferry. Bob Myrick will be waiting on the island to drive people to the park. Both bikes and walk-ons will have their ferry tickets paid for by the club. However, if you would like to drive yourself, directions to the park are below, and you must purchase your own ticket ($9.00). :
The food this year will be catered by Snuffin’s of Gig Harbor, and will include chicken, BBO
ribs, potato and green salads, vegetables and dip, bread and butter, chips and dip, and all the
pop you can drink Food will be served at approximately 12:30, with pop and chips available
all day.
Since the picnic will be on waterfront, we will have a float race. Please bring your floats,
deflated, to the Grenier’s house (3715 North Shirley) on
August 25th between 1:00-4:00 pm. They will transport all
the floats to the picnic . Directions from the Vashon ferry landing: L - after exiting ferry onto Vashon Island Hwy. Ex0 Bear R - at "Y" to continue on Island Hwy. L - 103rd Ave. R - SW 240th St. Ferry Schedule: Returning times: 10:30 am - bikes and walk-ons 4:45 pm 11:30 am - walkers only please 5:25 pm
