We had the picnic October 2 2010---a cold front was coming thru that afternoon--nearly froze. No rain just the wind that comes after and as the afternoon progressed the cooler it got with at least a 15 mile an hour wind that was pretty constant. I started out with jeans, t-shirt and long sleeved button shirt and a bucket hat because of the wind--by the time me and my husband left, I had added a hoodie and a wool triple thick Colombian sweater or was it my husband's plastic windbreaker--haha ( I knew it was going to get cold so I brought a lot of layers--hard now to remember which layers I had added by the end of the night--also got a migraine right after eating (sulfites or msg was the most likely culprit since they are pervasive in food stuffs these days).
Needless to say with the ensuing cold, we didn't have the bonfire and singing and there was another party of Bellevue Alums just down the road (many went to both)--mostly people ate and left or left just after dark --many because they were freezing their asses off.
