18th Annual Rainbow Days Picnic

Saturday, May 19th, 2012

10am-2pm

Rainbow Park - Fifth Street

The 18th annual “Rainbow Days” Picnic will be held Saturday, May 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Rainbow Park.  The event is sponsored by RPOA with the cooperation and participation of every civic organization in the community. 

A full BBQ lunch will be served for $4.  Raffles, offering a variety of items from local businesses, will be held every 30 minutes.   

The grand raffle, featuring a $100 bill, sponsored by Rainbow Realty, will be held at 1:30 p.m.  The winner must be present to win. 

Games for children of all ages, including the three-legged race and the balloon toss, will be held throughout the day. 

The election of RPOA board members will be held at the event. Election results will be announced at 1 p.m. 

The second annual Vallecitos Art Show will be staged at the picnic. Winners will receive cash awards.  All grades will participate. A dozen or more of the student entries will be used to create a 2013 calendar, which will be sold this Fall to benefit the Vallecitos PTO. 

The Plant Sale, featuring items donated by 19 local nurseries will begin at 9 a.m. All proceeds from the Plant Sale benefit Vallecitos School District. 

Last year’s picnic saw a turnout of over 300 — the best in years — thanks in large part to the inaugural Vallecitos Art Show. A strong turnout is hoped for again this year.
