Steampunk picnic this weekend in RI
Sep. 22nd, 2010 07:43 pmHard to believe (and I'm one of the organizers) but the Steampunk picnic is this Saturday (the 25th) from noon to 6-ish. It will be at Slater Park in Pawtucket RI.
The park main entrance is at 401 Newport Ave, Pawtucket RI. To get to the park the best way is to find your way to I-95 and take exit 2A in Mass (right by the RI border), and travel 2.7 miles, the park entrance will be on the Left.
Once you enter the park, follow the signs to Daggett Farms (bearing left whenever legal should also get you there). Park at the lot with the big "Daggett Farms Shops" sign, then head North (to your left as you face the building) towards the artillery cannon. We'll be picnicking at the cannon, or somewhere within view. I'll try to have some sort of sign or banner with gears on it, so keep an eye out.
All the picnicking sites were taken, so we'll be roughing it on the grass. So bring any tables & chairs you may need. Also there won't be a grill so make sure you bring stuff that doesn't need cooking. At Daggett Farms there should be 1-2 food stands and bathrooms. We'll have a couple chairs, but no guarantees of seating. Like the last picnic, we'll likely be doing group photos at the bandstand on the lake for those interested.
After the picnic, anyone interested is welcome to join us at The Temple gaming store nearby for additional hanging out.
