Summer evening highlighted by employee picnic Hundreds of Tribal, IHS, BIAand Kah-Nee- Ta employees and their families gathered at the Community Center for the annual employee picnic July 21. It was an excellent chance for friends, families and fellow-employees to renew old acquaintances and catch up on the latest. The supper, consisting of salmon, fried bread and juice donated by the Tribes, Was complimented by many, many salads, main- dishes and desserts furnished by the employees. Though the dinner was great, the games seemed to highlight the evening. A dunk tank was manned by volunteers. Robert Miller, left, was one of many who sat astride the platform and cajoled . those who thought they could m make him take a dive. Another feature was the water balloon toss, below, Partners carefully tossed the tight balloons to one another, but many were rusty at tossing and/ or catching and were eliminated as the balloons burst: The apparent favorite of the games was the canoe race. Many speculated before the races as to what exactly would be done with the long, PVC pipes. Team members, eight per team ,1 straddled the pipes and raced through the obstacle course, not once, but twice. Those on the tail end of the pipes often dropped to the ground on the curves. Speed was of the essence, as was strategy. Little thought was given to common sense. l Sptfyoy Tymoo photo by B thrtm l
