Let's celebrate summer together! Bring the family, bring your friends, bring a dish, bring some folding chairs -- and bring pickleball paddles if you have them.

KREIA Social Media Chair Hampton Scurlock is organizing a summer picnic in Warren Walker Park near Middletown.

Hampton said KREIA sponsor Hunter Hartman of Benthall Bros. is bringing the meats! If you could bring a side dish, we'll all feast well.

Rumor is that some wholesalers who are pickleball aficionados are planning to offer a teaching clinic.

Feel free to also bring your own favorite yard games ... badminton, Frisbees, cornhole, etc.

See you then, friends!
