We got word this weekend from Audrey Seale, organizer of the Madrona Dining & Sipping Society’s events, that the 3rd Annual Neighborhood picnic has had to be canceled because of low ticket sales.

The picnic had been scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 12 on the lawn at St. Therese. 

“The turnout as expressed in ticket sales to date or the emailed intention to buy tickets last minute still had our numbers at a fraction of the past years,” Seale wrote in an email to community members.

St. Clouds, which had been scheduled to cater the event, will serve BBQ fare for the Sunday special that night at the restaurant. If you already purchased tickets, you can receive a refund by stopping by St. Clouds on Sunday the 12th to turn in your tickets.
