Special Notice #1

At this year’s Sixth Annual Farmer’s Picnic Car Show there are a couple of new wrinkles being explored.  One, there will be music.  Two, there will possibly be some very special entertainment.  And, three there just might be a Flash Mob event.  (A flash mob is a group of people that assembles suddenly in a public place, performs for a brief time, then quickly disperses, often for the purposes of entertainment, satire, and/or artistic expression).

The Flash Mob will have a rock and roll theme.  If there is anyone that might be interested in participating or would like more information, please contact John Fisher at 517-648-0969.
