Event Description

Spend Labor Day with us at NJYP's 6th Annual Labor Day Picnic! Expect tons of fresh food and cold beers, softball and kickball games, sun, fun, and around 100 young professionals who are ready to make friends!

Here are the Memorial Day ’12 Pics at the same park, http://www.njyp.org/photo/albums/memorial-day-picnic-may-2012-by-holly

You can find pricing info on this ticket page.

Play:
Please bring all of the softball equipment you have because we will be sharing. Kickballs, a wiffle ball set, frisbees, and water guns, are also encouraged.

Relax:
Bring blankets, beach chairs, music. Don’t forget sunblock and sunglasses.

Consume (this is important so please read):
At this event everyone is expected to bring something to share! We will set up “shared food and drink” tables. If everyone brings a little it ends up working out great. When you buy your ticket let us know what you will be bringing.
* Think pasta salad, homemade salsa, fruit salad, hummus, brownies, cookies, cake, etc.
* We will also need burgers, hotdogs, veggie burgers, and buns. IF YOU ARE BRINGING MEAT, IT MUST BE ON ICE (think cooler and ice packs or loose ice)
* Bring charcoal, lighter fluid, ice, plates, soda, water by the gallon.
* We bought an alcohol permit so BYOB.
* Bring forks, spoons, knives, napkins, and aluminum foil (all leftovers will be used at the next Picnic).

Go GREEN!
Please bring a reusable water bottle that has your name on it.
Expect to recycle! We’ll set up a recycling center for glass, plastic, aluminum, etc.

Rain:
Heavy/consistent rain will cancel this event and tickets will be refunded if it is canceled. Otherwise, all SALES ARE FINAL.

Directions:
Using Google Maps, look up this address 480 South St, Morristown, NJ 07960.
Or use the park map http://njyperks.com/Loantaka-Map.gif and look for the South Street Recreational Area. If the lot is full you will have to find another lot and walk over. Perhaps print the map out so you can navigate around the park and please try to carpool.
Do not park illegally or they will tow your car.

Comment by Jeff on September 3, 2012 at 12:24pm: Hey everyone, I really was looking forward to this, but one of my relatives is going into the hospital which I need to take care of. I'm not going to be able to make it. I wish you all a fun and rain free bbq!

Comment by Louis C. Hochman on September 3, 2012 at 11:03am: If anyone is punking out because of the weather, I've got a friend who just decided last-minute to go, so I'll be happy to buy your ticket off of you. E-mail me at Lou@LouisHochman.com before noon if you see this and have an extra. I could pay you via paypal or send you a check.

Comment by Brian and Mike on September 3, 2012 at 7:14am: Jeff - That sounds like a good plan!

Comment by Jeff on September 2, 2012 at 9:55pm: Hi Everyone, I had a slight change of plans at the last minute. I'm still coming to the picnic, but it doesn't look like I'm going to get there until about 2pm-2:30pm. That being the case, I don't want to hold people up with drinks so if someone could bring them, that would be appreciated. Since I'm coming later in the day, would dessert be better? I'm not going to the supermarket until tomorrow morning so let me know what is in short supply and I can get that.

Comment by Patricia on September 2, 2012 at 9:09pm: Hi Michelle,

Are you still selling your ticket? Let me know. Thank you.

Comment by Brian and Mike on September 2, 2012 at 7:56pm: Shared Items:
To see what you and the paid guests are bringing go here, http://www.eventbrite.com/event/3961633352 and pan down. To CHANGE/UPDATE what you are bringing please log-in to www.eventbrite.com (create an account).

Not sure what to bring? We can always use MORE BURGERS and SIDES and LESS chips/dips/desserts. Make sure you bring $10 worth of stuff to share (aka, 1 package of napkins is not enough).

IF YOU ARE BRINGING MEAT, IT MUST BE ON ICE (think cooler and ice packs or loose ice).

Also Remember:
- Bring reusable water bottles filled with the water you need.
- Sporting equipment (mitts, balls, bats, frisbee).
- Water guns, sunblock, beach chairs, beach towels.

Once you arrive:
- Check in at our registration table and get a wristband. Staff will then show you were to put the shareable items.
- Bring grillables over to the grill masters (Kevin, JP, and Hasani). Also, ask them if they need a drink or a plate made up. Be nice to them :)

A passing shower will NOT cancel this event!

Comment by Jeffrey Gates on September 2, 2012 at 12:29pm: Don't forget to bring your softball / kickball or other sporting equipment so we can get some games going!!!!

Comment by Brian and Mike on September 2, 2012 at 11:56am: Yes, as long as they are leashed. Usually a few people will bring their dogs.

Comment by Becky on September 2, 2012 at 11:35am: Are dogs allowed in the park?

Comment by Brian and Mike on September 2, 2012 at 8:24am: Hi All - Passing showers will not cancel this event, we have a great covered area that we can be under if a shower does come.
