As summer approaches, the long, hot days and high sun make it tough for spotting during the day. So I thought it was time for something social during the day for the whole family.
What: NYCAviation Family Picnic
Where: Herman MacNeil Park, 5th Ave and 115th Street in College Point, Queens. Refer to Point D on the LGA Map: http://nycaviation.com/lgaspotting
When: June 24 from 11:00am to 5:00pm (Raindate to be determined)
Who: You, your friends and your family.
Why: Because it’s about time to sit back and relax with the fam!
This is a time where we put photography on the backburner and hang out with our friends on the comfy green hills of the park that overlooks LGA 22 arrivals or 4 departures.
Bring your friends and family!! Bring anyone you want. This is not just an aviation event. There is a playground and regular Mister Softee visits for the kids, lots of trees for shade, nice grass and a safe environment with an airport and skyline view.
There will be things that everyone will have to bring though! Everyone should contribute a few things so that we are set and have everything. If everyone brings a little something, we will have a very tasty and relaxing bash. Bring a couple of things from the list:
- Blankets
- Chairs
- Sandwiches
- Coolers
- Ice
- Drinks (no alcohol is allowed)
- Paper or Styrofoam Plates
- Plastic Forks, Knives, Spoons
- Mustard, Mayo, Ketchup
- Frisbees, soccer balls, footballs, baseball mitts (bring extra mitts for others if you have!) handballs and basketballs (there are courts for both!). Bring a net and rackets for birdie or volleyball action or whatever else you’d like!
- Whatever food or items you think would be good to bring and share.
Bring your wife or husband, boyfriend, girlfriend, your kids and your friends.
Oh, and did I mention RAFFLES? We will have a raffle with some great prizes such as posters, pictures and other memorabilia that we have, much of with contributed to NYCAviation from friends at the Boeing Alteon Training Center.
Did someone say they are worried about bathrooms? Well I live a block from the park and will take turns bringing people up for those who really want to use an actual restroom as opposed to the park’s facilities. This should make the ladies feel more comfortable (always the excuse from the wife. haha).
If it rains or something, the date will be pushed back to Mid-July so it does not conflict with 4th of July celebrations. Stay tuned to keep up to date on the dates.
I’m really excited to have this be the first NYCA event of the season. I hope you all come.
Post if you’re coming. Post your questions. Post the things you will bring.
See you there!!
