Due to weather, Boatnerd’s Thursday picnic moved to new location

With 90-100 percent chance of rain forecast for Sault Ste. Marie on Thursday, the location of the annual Boatnerd Picnic has been changed from our usual Rotary Park to Sherman Park, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Snacks and coffee will be offered before noon, grilling begins at noon, with carrot cake and other delicacies to follow. Hot dogs, hamburgers, buns, condiments, plates, napkins and utinsels are being provided by Boatnerd. Bring something to share (salad, chips). Soo delis and groceries have food options to purchase and bring to the park. Bring your own beverage.

The park, which has an enclosed pavilion and a covered area for grilling, is located west of the locks at 4th Avenue & 24th Street. If you are exiting from I-75 north, turn left (west) onto Easterday Avenue. That turns into 4th Avenue. Follow it to the end and the park is there. The park is on the water and we will still be able to view freighter traffic.

Here are some details: www.saultstemarie.com/member-detail/sherman-park/

Be advised that the forecast shows much improvement for Friday. The annual Freighter Chasing Cruise will go on as planned, rain or shine.
