German American Friendship Picnic Grove
This is the second, and up to now the last phase of the Grove, dedicated in 1993.
Again a lot of help from our members this time we added a group area with more tables and benches, and a large barbecue grill.
The stone work was done by Heinz Trilk and Henry Penner, the welding and installing by Rudi and Gary Mosel. They also donated the material.
This is the day of the dedication.
