On Wednesday, August 14th, The Mayflower Community (Grinnell IA) put on an Iowa State Fair themed picnic lunch hosted by residents, Stan and Janaan Swann, on behalf of the Mayflower Residents Association. The fare, something like you would feast on trodding down Grand Avenue in Des Moines, was served in the air-conditioned comfort of the Buckley Dining Room.

Food options included corn dogs, BBQ ribs, loaded potato nachos, Guinea Grinders, fried chicken, corn on the cob, and a variety of deserts, including funnel cakes.
