First Event of the Season- Sat, June 22nd

Join us for our first picnic event of the year! We are getting a bit of a late start as we wrapped up some projects on our property, but now the big tent in the meadow is ready for guests to share and enjoy in faith, family, friendship, and fun. There will most likely be families from last year as well as new ones so come make some new friends!

We’ll have an assortment of group board games, several cornhole boards for friendly games or a tournament of champions, and a team scavenger hunt on the property. This event is an old-fashioned potluck get together for friends and families. Dress for warm weather and bring a light jacket if you want to stay late for the bonfire.

Please bring a main dish and side dish or desert to share along with serving utensils. Drinks and cold water will be available along with plates, bowls, and utensils. Several benches and tables will be available as well as an assortment of lawn chairs, but you are encouraged to bring yours. We should have enough power for electric pots to keep food warm.

Date & Time

Sat, June 22nd, 5:00 – 9:00

Our events are located in the meadow at Steele Haven under the big event tent located there. Parking is designated and visitors are strongly encouraged not to park along the road, along the driveway, or in the bottom land near the creek.

The event will start at 5:00 with instructions and games and general getting-to-know-you activities for children and parents. Feel free to arrive early to help setup or to meet others, but everyone attending should plan to arrive by 6:00 as we will give thanks for our food and eat at that time.

Rules & Regulations

This event is intended to be family-friendly and Jesus-honoring. And while we make no judgement about their use, we ask that you bring no alcohol or drugs and that no minors may carry or use firearms or weapons (sorry boys, those sheath knives have to stay at home). The event and all attendees are required to stay in the meadow and are not permitted to go up to the barn or the main houses or into the woods or on the train tracks. The boundary of our property is the driveway and guests are asked to remain on the east side at all times. There is an historic cemetery on the property and attendees are encouraged to respectfully view the headstones and the history that they tell. A portable toilet will be available so boys, please don’t go off to pee in the woods. All children should strive to be gentlemen and ladies towards one another and parents are encouraged to chaperone any children at the event as though they were their own.
