    • Picnics were the rage during the Regency Era. Just think of "Emma" and her change of heart after Mr. Knightly's little talk with her at their picnic. Whether that happens at our picnic we don't know but come and enjoy the fellowship with one another and some picnic food. And afterward enjoy a walk along the Lake Dora Board Walk where you might see alligators, herons, and curlews. A great photo op.
