Van Rensselaer Picnic to Be Held at Cedar Lake, August 12.

The annual Van Rensselaer Club picnic will be held at Cedar Lake on Thursday, Aug. 12. Owing to the rainy weather recently when the picnic was held at the Kanne Grove, only a few members of the club attended and it was decided to hold another when more could attend. It has been decided that the members of the club and ladies will leave Rensselaer on the 10:36 and return at 11:10 that night. Lassen brothers will serve the meals to the picnickers and the day will be spent in boating, fishing, dancing, bathing, and ball games. After much consideration it was decided that Cedar Lake would make the ideal place to hold a picnic for such a large number. The entire grounds and pavillions will be turned over to the club, making the day at the lake a private affair for the members.

All members are urged to make a special effort to be able to attend this picnic for the entire day. The day at the lake will be known as “Rensselaer Day."
