Seniors Picnic in the Park Returns for its 26th Year of Fun and Friendship The beloved Seniors Picnic in the Park is back this summer, promising another unforgettable day of music, food, fun, and friendship for older adults from across Elgin County. Presented by Nurse Next Door, the 26th annual event will take place on Tuesday, July 9th from 9 am to 2 pm at Pinafore Park in St. Thomas (95 Elm Street). What began in 1999 as a simple get-together has grown into one of the largest senior-focused events in the region, drawing over 1,500 attendees each year. Organized by a dedicated volunteer committee and supported through grants from the City of St. Thomas and the County of Elgin, the picnic has become a summer staple. “St. Thomas’ senior citizens know how to plan a premier park party!” laughs co-chair Sara Sweeny, who represents the Alzheimer Society on the organizing committee. “It’s a gathering of seniors from all over Elgin County, and each year it just keeps growing.” The picnic is much more than just a fun day in the sun. It’s a valuable hub of information, entertainment, and community engagement. With close to 50 vendors ex- pected, attendees can explore Vendor Alley — a showcase of services, resources, and programs tailored to those aged 55 and older, featuring everything from health and wellness to recreational opportunities and retirement planning.
