ORRC’s member picnic is a way we come together and have fun as a group with food and games. This is our way of giving thanks to our many members. Without you, ORRC would not exist.

We’ve reserved Bethany Creek Park for the picnic fun (on the corner of NW Delia St & NW Eleanor Ave off of Springville), from 11:00 am until 1:00 pm.

Activities

Join us for lawn games like a corn-hole competition, hula hoops, and a cake/pie walk, along with music and food! Fun for the whole family before you travel to fireworks! Bring your blanket to stretch out on the grass and your appetite for grilled hot dogs, salads and frozen popsicles — Yum!

Registration is free for all ORRC members and their families, but please register so we can get an accurate food count.

Parking is limited so we encourage carpooling as much as possible.

Come enjoy some food and fun before you go out and watch fireworks. We look forward to seeing you all there!
