"Who Am I" - In this game everyone had the name of a famous person which had been tacked to their back. By asking questions of each other they would learn their identity. Congrats to winner, Rosanne Bronick, first to unmask her identity as Ann Landers.			The "Scavenger Hunt" was a lot of fun. Intense competition among the men was noted!. Hunters were given a list of about 15 items that could be located in pocket, purse or person. (i.e. pearl, nail clipper, hologram, bird, bobby pin, 1975 penny, $50 bill).

	Hunters found a gold mine in Nancy Burgerella's handbag! Tied for winner were Emil Isaacson & Jerry Butts, since there was only one prize, a drawing determined the award would go to Emil. Good work boys!
		The "Photo ID" game returned again this year, childhood photos of 18 picnic attendees were presented for identification. Identifying half of them, Bette Hostetler was our winner!

Special Guests to our picnic were Pati Royal and Linda Ferguson. Pati and Linda perform Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness for people researching in Pinellas County.

	IT'S - "Chow Time"
