Join us for a casual summertime gathering at the lovely Cedar River Trail Park picnic shelter, which is located on the river between Renton Municipal Airport and the Boeing facility. We’ll have a grill going, so bring your own hot dogs, burgers, etc. to grill, or just pack a picnic lunch. Be sure to bring camp chairs and/or a blanket if you have them. We will provide water, sodas, and chips.
This is an all-ages event, and there are spots along the river to dip your toes in the water if it’s hot out. Don’t forget the sunscreen!
