About this event

HBC Picnic
This year's HBC picnic will be held at Fort Hunter Park on Front Street in Harrisburg on Sunday, July 13. HBC has rented the east pavilion on the barn side. Rides will be offered in the morning for all levels of rides from D to B, but there's plenty to do at the park even if you don't ride a bike. There's a great playground, a downloadable self-guided walking tour map, tours of the Ft. Hunter Mansion, horseshoe pits and the opportunity to do some boating or tubing on the Susquehanna River. Bring the whole family! https://forthunter.org

Thanks to Dave Young for once again offering to be the Grillmaster.

Lunch will be at 12:30 p.m. Bring a folding chair, although there is a limited amount of seating available at the picnic tables in the pavilion. You can also bring lawn games or other activities. Relax and have a good time with friends. The pavilion is ours for the whole day.

HBC will provide the grilled chicken, hot dogs, water and Gatorade. Everyone who attends is asked to bring an appetizer, side dish or dessert to share. You can also bring lawn games or other activities. Relax and have a good time with friends. The pavilion is ours for the whole day.

Please note that alcohol is not allowed in the park.
