June 18 - International Picnic Day It’s International Picnic Day! celebrates one of the greatest ways to enjoy the seasons—an outdoor picnic with friends, family, games and activities, and delicious food. During the Victorian era, picnics were very important social occasions. They offered the rare opportunity for young men and women to spend time together in the great outdoors. They were also quite elaborate. A picnic for twenty people might feature cold salmon, lamb, veal, chicken, ham, pigeon pie, sandwiches, fruit, a selection of cheeses, and a variety of baked goods! The modern-day picnic is much less complicated. In fact, the phrase “it’s a picnic” means “it’s easy.” To celebrate International Picnic Day, invite your friends and family to seasonal picnic. Find a suitable location at a local park or field, and sit back and enjoy an al fresco meal in the company of your loved ones. Happy International Picnic Day! art-effusions/organ-donation
