theChad Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 The 12th Anniversary of the annual Father's Day Cruse and Picnic is again scheduled for a wonderful drive to Cottonwood. Last year some of us stopped around the corner and grabbed a cold beer at THAT brewery. I think I'll do this again this year as well! This is the weekend before Father's Day so everyone can still celebrate the holiday with family. The picnic destination in Cottonwood's Garrison Park has plenty of picnic bench seating under a huge ramada, and additional shade trees for those that want a true blanket picnic. You are required to bring your own sack lunch for a picnic. There's one medium sized ramada with 6 picnic tables, a nearby restroom, and a playground.

I'm not sure what this is (signature??), but it looks like linking your image/thumbnail is failing terribly from your email (outlook/hotmail). I'd suggest saving the image on your desktop and uploading it into the message, then clean the file off your desktop. Or on mobile, saving to your camera roll first and attaching.

If I remember correctly (Marcelo?) it wasn't inside the brewery, it was a food truck parked right adjacent to the seating area that had the duck fat fries. . .

geoWorm Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 We are driving up from Green Valley on Friday night to North Phoenix and will join at the North Phoenix launch. We will be picking up our picnic lunch at Subway in Cottonwood. So don't follow the Torch Red Vert with the 500 Vet plate to Garrison Park when we don't make the left turn and continue to Subway.
