Photo Story: Redford Picnic, 169th edition
REDFORD | The 15th of Redford brought hundreds to the hillside lawns and parish hall at the Church of the Assumption here for the 169th annual picnic. The merry-go-round filled up at every turn. The game booths had lines. And pies were won, one at a time, by hundreds of lucky guesses. The ham and roast beef supper drew a crowd. Though a summer storm threatened, it held off. Craft vendors filled the lawn at the Redford Fire Station. As families got together for an August afternoon visit with long-time friends and neighbors, a summer hum of voices carried in the wind. The Redford Picnic is one of the longest held traditions in the North Country and maintains use of many historic, hand-crafted game pieces. All of its game and picnic dinner proceeds benefit the local parish and the work they do in community.
