Dover W. C. T. U. picnic at Peelle's, 6:30 P. M. for members and families.
64th Collett-McKay reunion at Collett picnic grounds near New Burlington.

The 64th annual Collet-McKay picnic will be held at the usual place on Saturday, August 9, which is near New Burlington.
These two families always come together on the second Saturday in August at this same place for
they own 4 acres of ground in the corner of a beautiful sugar camp where these reunions are always held. During the past year H. W.
Collett died. He had attended all the 63 previous events. This is perhaps one of the oldest reunions in the state, but they are called picnics because they were started
before the family reunion name was known. 300 attended last year.
