Nanty Glo's First Baptist Church celebrates with picnic.
Mother nature was on her best behavior for the August 8th First Baptist Church picnic. Blue skies and balmy temperatures...who could ask for anything more? Approximately 30 people attended this year's get-together at Nanty Glo Park and Pool. A smaller crowd than last year, although this year, I believe we had more youngsters in attendance. More teens to be sure, thanks to Pastor Geno's efforts to get more young people involved in church and related activities.
As with all picnics, the main attraction was the food....good food and plenty of it. Our First Baptist ladies under the guidance of Irene McGough always seem to out-do themselves in the culinary department when we have a gathering of any type. The kids had a surprise in store for Pastor G. Armed with cans of silly string, they surrounded him and took aim, nearly covering him in the multi-colored, harmless "stuff."
Our resident sports fanatic, Eric Harringer broke out his corn hole game and the competition was on. Oh, and did I mention the water battle with squirt guns and people who knew how to use them? No one was spared. I took photos which I've made into a video which I'm not certain is going to play. However if it does... Enjoy!
