WEEKEND: All invited to Pioneer Picnic in Sequim at noon today

SEQUIM — The Sequim Pioneer Picnic will be held in conjunction with the all-class reunion — but you don’t have to be a Sequim High School graduate to attend.

The picnic will be at noon today in the Sequim Prairie Grange’s picnic area, 290 Macleay Road.

“It’s for everyone from the [Dungeness] valley,” said organizer Loretta Grant.

All-class reunion

The picnic coincides with the all-class reunion , and graduates of Sequim High are welcome, she said.

Mostly, those who attend the annual picnic are those who were born and raised in the area, she said.

“It’s mostly for the old-timers, people who have lived in the valley for the last 40 years,” Grant said.

Last year, about 60 people attended, she said.

This year, because of the reunion, “we’ll probably have some from out of town,” Grant added.

Those who attend are asked to bring a salad, main dish or dessert. Drinks and service will be provided.

Those who want to kick up their heels that evening can go to a dance at the grange hall that begins at 5:30 p.m., Grant said. Buck Ellard will play until 8:30 p.m.

The cost of the dance is $10 per person or $15 per couple. Food will be provided. For more information, phone Grant at 360-683-3194.
