Probably the biggest and most fun event of the year!

PLENTY OF ACTIVITIES - OR JUST EAT & RELAX
THE PROGRAM OF THE DAY:
11 AM Arrival and grilling starts - lunch throughout the day! Kids’ creativity corner opens - we'll have fun with sidewalk chalk, create finger puppets, make our own board game, work in small teams, and connect through creativity!
11:30 AM Food tasting contest - do you make the very best potato salad, sauerkraut, or homemade bread in the Bay Area? Put it to the test in the food tasting contest, and win a prize and bragging rights! (Entries must arrive by 11:30 to participate - please package a separate portion for the contest from your contribution to the potluck table.)
1 PM After lunch and the raffle, everyone is invited to join in and learn some easy Baltic folk dances.
2 PM Due to popular demand - tug-of-war will be again this year! Come enjoy casual match-ups in soccer, volleyball, too - or just the company of friends and family.
