Bring a blanket, the kids, your friends and enjoy the fun! This year, back by popular demand, two hours with those *adorable baby goats*! The picnic is brought to you by the all volunteer Buckman Community Association and supported financially and with in-kind donations by Key Bank, Central City Concern, Coca-Cola, Organics to You, and many individual donors as well as much appreciated logistical help from Hinson Church.
