A Grow Club Picnic has been set for Sunday, August 2, 2026, at Town of Van Buren Park. We have reserved a Pavilion (Pavilion C) so the weather is not a concern.

Van Buren Park is located at 7350 Canton Street, Van Buren, NY 13027 (Approximately 4 miles from NYS Thruway Exit 39). Van Buren Park Pavilion C should be found by your car’s GPS.

All Grow Club members are invited to attend and are also encouraged to bring a friend or two.

Please bring a dish of food to share, your table service, and drink. There is a grill available if you would like to grill.

We have the Pavilion available from Noon to 7 pm. We plan to eat around 1:30 to 2:00 pm, hopefully this will give people time to arrive.

Over the next few weeks, we will be playing a fun game called "Who Do You Think Will Be Attending This Year's State Session?" Each week, I'll post a clue, and you can drop your guesses in the comments about who you think will be attending the session. Let's see how well you can predict the attendees!
