OMAHA, NEB. 



Omaha-Council Bluffs Picnic. 



The most successful picnic in the his- 

 tory of the Omaha and Council Bluffs 

 florists was held August 3. Heretofore 

 the outings have been held in Omaha, 

 but this year it was decided to favor 

 the Bluffs, and iLake Manawa was 

 chosen as the scene of the picnic. It 

 was an ideal place and more than 200 

 came out and partook of the fun. That 

 it was such a success is attributed main- 

 ly to the fact that the affair was run by 

 the younger element of the Florists' 

 Club. Too much praise and credit can- 

 not be given Messrs. Gardner and Faulk- 

 ner, who solicited donations from the 

 employers to defray all the expenses of 

 the picnic, and it goes without saying 

 that they did their work well. All the 

 greenhouses closed at 12 noon, while the 

 stores remained open until 1 p. m. 

 Games of all kinds were indulged in and 

 at 6:30 everyone repaired to the boat 

 house pavilion, where a fine supper was 

 served. After the repast the women 

 and children were furnished with tick- 

 ets for all the amusements in the park. 

 The bowling match for the men was 

 called off on account of the heat.
