St Louis Section
Annual Picnic
The Third Annual ACS St. Louis Section picnic was held June 2, 2007 at Tower Grove Park in the city of St Louis. With showers predicted, a small but faithful group attended the festivities.
Chair/Chef Steve Kinsley cooked up a storm (literally!) of chicken, burgers, and brats. It was a delicious feast, and just when the last bites were taken, the skies let loose with all their fury. The group huddled together in the pavilion, wrapped in tablecloths to stay dry. After about ten minutes, the skies cleared, and the party continued in the bright sunshine. A good time was had by all.
Steve Kinsley in his element (yes, I suppose that is a chemistry pun), a natural with spatula and tongs.
The show, the conversation, goes on in spite of the deluge, under cover of the pavillion.
As the skies cleared and the ground quickly dried, conversation moved back out under the sky.
Next year, the weather is practically guaranteed to be more cooperative. Steve Kinsley will wear two hats: Immediate-Past-Chair-in-charge-of-Arrangements and chef-par-excellence, unless he can cajole someone else to be the grill ninja. Be sure to reserve the weekend. Check the homepage calendar in the spring for details as they develop.
