Mt. St. Francis picnic is tomorrow.

Chris Morris previews tomorrow's Mt. St. Francis picnic, which he notes has been held since 1921. Back then, beer wouldn't have been sold at the picnic owing to the oppressive reality of Prohibition, but since Repeal, it's been a constant.

One of these years, I'll remember to ask the organizers if they'd like to have real beer on hand. Until then, if anyone reading this goes out to the Mount tomorrow, let us know the extent of the selection.

IF YOU GO

The Mount St. Francis Picnic will be held from 11 a.m. to midnight Saturday, Aug. 31. Chicken dinners are $9. There will be a beer garden, gambling tent, various food and games of chance. The Mount is located off U.S. 150.
