CDC - CDC’s Annual Picnic

CDC’s Annual Picnic

Place: Glen Doone Shelter, at Thacher State Park, in Voorheesville, NY

Date: Sunday August 29, 2021


Please join us for the NYFOA – Capital District Chapter picnic at the Glen Doone Shelter area in Thacher Park on Sunday August 29, noon to 4 pm.

This is a chance to enjoy the spectacular views from the Helderberg Escarpment and friendship of our NYFOA chapter. There will be a fresh roasted ½ chicken for those who register in advance. All are asked to bring a dish to share; we always have great food from the many wonderful cooks and bakers in the group. Admission to the park, parking, and the roasted chicken are all free-of-charge this year because of our pandemic curtailed programming in 2020, and we REALLY want to see our NYFOA friends again. As usual, beverages and place settings are also provided.

The escarpment and Thacher Park being so unique, we have invited park geologist Thom Engel to speak to us about the geologic history of the surroundings. We expect to start eating at 12:30, and Thom will speak to us once we finish. Don’t miss this opportunity. Thom has a wealth of knowledge of park geology, the fossils, landforms, caves, and the natural sciences in general(including trees and mushrooms).

Interested in becoming a NYFOA member? Come and see what we are about. This is a great chance to share food and an afternoon with others who are active in their woods.

To ease our planning, please help us by reserving your place(s) before Saturday August 28 with Carol at happyinthehollow@gmail.comWe need to know how many in your group will be eating chicken. When registering, please provide a good contact phone number should we need to reach you prior to the event. Guidelines for Covid and the variant may require changes to all our careful planning. Please stay aware of the latest Albany County recommendations and be prepared to comply with current requirements. Thanks.

The Glen Doone Shelter is located at 650 Thacher Park Rd Voorheesville, NY, 12186 (coords 42.648235N, 74.005547W)
