Flight Support Picnic!

This past Saturday we had a picnic for the Flight Support Department at work. This picnic is something that a group of us have been working on for quite a while as part of the Events Planning Committee and I have to say... It was a huge success!! The Flight Support Deparment includes the Dispatchers, Meteorologists, Slot Coordinators, Raft Coordinators, and the Next Day Flight Review Team for Netjets. We had a great turnout and the weather was gorgeous!!


The park we had the picnic at was in Pickerington, Oh which is about a half an hour drive from where I live. It's a very nice area and the park was absolutely beautiful! Steve and I got there at about 10:30am to set up the volleyball net we brought and to help finish setting up the food and tables. We had people arriving to eat at about 11:00, so it was a good thing we got there early!

There really was a lot to see and do at this park. There was a baseball field, soccer fields, a skate park, a playground, a walking trail, soccer fields, and a really neat covered bridge area with a creek that ran under it. We had the volleyball net set up, a football game going, and of course... a game of Cornhole to play! A lot of people who came brought family, friends, and pets... It was nice that there was something for everyone to do.


Since football is such a huge deal here in Ohio, we knew we had to have a way for people to watch the Buckeyes game. Luckily, a co-worker volunteered to bring his TV and set it up so no one would miss it. We took Cookie with us too the picnic and she was in full Buckeye spirit as well, thanks to Steve. He bought her a little OSU jersey to wear and she looked SOOO cute! It's funny... she usually throws a fit when I put something on her, but she had no problem whatsoever with the Jersey. She had it on all day long and we never even heard a growl out of her. She was definitely the bell of the ball... and she knew it too!
