FRC's 20th Anniversary Annual Picnic

On Saturday, September 12th, Family Resource Center (FRC) celebrated it's 20th Annual Family Picnic.  More than 500 friends of FRC gathered at Busse Woods Forest Preserve in Elk Grove Village to enjoy a day of great food, perfect weather and fun activities for the kids.  Pony rides, a petting zoo, bounce houses, giant slide, face and hand- painting and  a visit from Clifford, the Big Red Dog, were just a few of the afternoon highlights.  As usual, we also played games, including the kids’ favorites – the water balloon toss and the caterpillar game!

The picnic continues to be a popular annual event for many in the FRC community, and it was wonderful to see people reconnect with each other and with FRC staff.  Once again, Busse Woods turned out to be the perfect venue, offering plenty of room to spread out, ample parking and a beautiful setting.  Kids large and small went home exhausted but happy, full of ice cream, cotton candy and memories of a wonderful day.
