Jaanipäeva Picnic

Laupäeval 23. juunil, 2007 oli Jaanipäeva piknik Anna Maria saare põhjatipus Bayfront Park'i peapavilionis. Kokkutulek algab kell 11 hommikul, kaasa palume võtta rannatool, joogi ja toidukorv. Grill-vorstid ja estoburgerid on korraldajate poolt toodud.  Bayfront Park asub Tampa Bay ääres ujumise ja kalastamise võimalustega. Teejuhis: maanteel SR64 West sõita läbi Bradentoni linna Anna Maria saarele. Selle maantee lõpus pöörata paremale teele #789 (Gulf Drive), umbes 3 miili pärast pöörata paremale Pine Avenue'le. Pine Ave. lõpus pöörata vasakule Bay Blvd. North. Park jääb paremat kätt ja peapavilion on pargi keskel.

We had a beach party on Saturday, 23 June 2007 to celebrate the St. John's Day at the Bayfront Park on the North end of Anna Maria island, west of Bradenton, FL.  Arrive by 11 AM, bring beach chairs/blankets and your food and drinks.  Estoburgers and brats will be on the grill available to all comers.  Bring gear for swimming and fishing, you do not need a fishing license if you fish from shore.  A beach pavilion will be reserved -- look for the Estonian flag. 

Directions:  Take SR-64 from Bradenton.  When it ends,  turn right on Gulf Drive ( CR-789).  Continue for 3 miles, turning right on Pine Ave.  At the end of Pine Avenue, turn left on Bay Blvd.  The park will be on your right.
