I thought that the First Annual 18th Masonic District Picnic was a huge success! Hiram Lodge members were there first thing in the morning and set up the pavilion and began setting up for the day's events. I arrived around 10:00 am and noted that everything was under control! About 11:00 am Invincible Lodge No. 361 arrived with a barbeque trailer in tow! The trailer came complete with two generators, an electric rotisserie type huge butane barbeque pit and the members of Invincible Lodge No. 361 to do the cooking!
These Brothers began cooking chicken, smoke sausage, steaks and ribs! It wasn't long before Hiram carried their ice chest to the cooking trailer, as they knew they were out gunned in the barbeque department. However Hiram Lodge held their own, with a LARGE pot of Jambalaya, (which was GREAT), a deep fryer, (fried fish was excellent) and all the other trimmings to go with the picnic! OUTSTANDING BROTHERS!!!
This annual Picnic will grow and the District Members will be closer and the Craft better for it. I want to thank all the Brothers that attended the picnic and hope that next year it will grow to double this year's size. Once the other members of the district hear about the success, they will come.

It went great. I left @ 3:30 but the feed back that I got was all great. We also played horseshoes my wife and kids came out, plus some others. My family my lodge and I had a great time. We all are looking forward to next year and many more to come. We can always get better.
