Plantation Field picnic

Last night's picnic supper at Plantation Field off Route 82 was terrific: the beautiful hilltop setting, the delicious food (especially liked the pulled pork), the Victory Brewing beer, the amazing assortment of desserts (this is why I work out so hard at the gym) and most of all the friends and neighbors I got to catch up with -- including one extremely patient baby girl with her always-laid-back Mommy.
The annual picnic was for supporters, sponsors, friends and volunteers for the prestigious Plantation Field International Horse Trials, coming up on Sept. 20 to 22. So many people from the local community were there that I didn't get a chance to chat with even half of those I wanted to.
In the only formal part of the evening, Denis Glaccum gave a brief speech about what it takes to pull off a huge event like the upcoming three-day event.
As I drove home the sun was setting, a dramatic deep blue and orange over the spectacular Unionville countryside.
