FLORIDA - CLAIRTON PICNIC - FEBRUARY (every year) - FT. DE SOTO PARK



THIRD SATURDAY IN FEBRUARY




SEND YOUR PICNIC PICTURES (or unidentified peoples' names) TO ANNA MARIE WARD BOCHTER (CHS 1960) AND WE'LL INCLUDE THEM ON THIS WEBPAGE.





Hello Clairton folks! Pictures to follow show some of the diehard Clairton fans, basking in the warm Florida sunshine, while those of us wintering in the North dream about these lucky picnickers. Ron Isger says that the weather started out chilly for the day, but warmed up by afternoon into the 70s. Ron also says that the facility is rented for 2016, same place, same date - third Saturday of February. Keep in mind that this picnic is held every year on the third Saturday of February at Ft. DeSoto Park. Once inside the Park, look for a sign to the specific picnic shelter - Shelter 14. Enjoy the picnic through the pictures below. Check them out and provide us with missing names. We will update this website as we receive the pictures.



If you have any pictures that you took at the picnic, please send them to Anna Marie Ward Bochter (CHS1960) at the above e-mail address or contact me to find how to send them to me non-electronically. As usual, your help is always needed to identify the smiling faces in these pictures. I always make an attempt at identification, but I don't know all the people and sometimes the angle makes it difficult to positively identify someone. Please help by letting me know of any corrections or if you can add any names I missed...Anna Marie.



NOTICE

Please note that alcoholic beverages are not permitted in Ft. DeSoto Park. There was a visit from a Park Ranger during the 2011 picnic where he issued a warning. If attendees are caught with alcoholic beverages in the future, a hefty fine will be issued. Please adhere to the Park regulations during future visits for the Clairton Florida Picnic.


If a person has a valid Disabled Parking Permit, they are not required to pay the parking fee of $5....but they must display the permit when entering the park.
