The Pioneer Picnic, for residents of 50 years+, has been an event held in Sarasota for almost 40 years. It’s sponsored by the Rotary Club as a way to honor long-term residents, and the Historical Society was honored to be invited to set up an informational table on Sunday, October 7 2012.
Above, Linda Garcia, Director and Site Manager; Meade Ferguson, Director and Secretary; and Jane Kirschner-Tucillo, immediate past President and Gift Shop director, greet 50+-year residents of Sarasota.
In addition to the Historical Society table, Society members Lois and Ed Orr and Milton and Isabel Rauch (with their fellow motoring enthusiasts) created a mini-antique car show in front of Robarts Arena.
