Feb 22, 2010: Picnic in Baker Park, Sunday, February 21

Food Not Bombs Las Vegas held our weekly Free Picnic in the Park at Baker Park on February 21st from 10:30am to 12pm. We had rice, chili beans, noodle stiry fry, homestyle potatoes, salad, chili peppers, banana bread and fruit for the main course, with orange juice and fruit punch to drink. Charles and Kelly brought the banana bread and Charles brought the taters; everything else was yet again courtesy of Gail.

About 30 people joined in the meal this week. Food Not Bombs organizers Charles, Kelly, Sean, Kaleb, Irina, Joanna and Nick were there. It was cold with the wind, which threatened to blow us into Arizona a few times. But we persevered, threw around the football, listened to some music and talked about community organizing. Hope the weather gets better, and see you at the park next week!

Food Not Bombs Las Vegas held our weekly Free Picnic in the Park at Baker Park on February 14th from 10:30am to 12pm. We had a big mess of rice, beans, vegetable soup, homestyle potatoes, salad, chili peppers (that some of us mistook for okra, with comical results), bananas, banana bread and apples for the main course, with orange juice, citrus punch, and fruit punch to drink.

About 25 people joined in the meal this week. Food Not Bombs organizers Charles, Kelly, Sean and Daniel were there. The lousy weather finally broke this weekend, and it was sunny and fairly warm. Everyone had a chance to kick back to some good tunes brought by Charles. Hope the weather holds, and see you at the park next week!

Food Not Bombs organizer Kelly was there, as were Gail, Dave, Daniel and Sean. Gail brought the soup, beans, salad and rice, while Daniel and Sean brought juice.
