This year’s annual picnic comes in the middle of a lively primary season. So in addition to the enjoying usual good times, we’ll also get an opportunity to hear from candidates who wish to stop by. And we’ll have music from guitarist-singer Mike Bell and his daughter, fiddler-singer Eleanor Mayerfeld. Please come!

• When: 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Sunday, July 15
• Where: Warner Park picnic shelter, 2930 N. Sherman Ave., Madison
• Details: Brats and burgers (including veggie options) and cold beverages provided; bring a side dish or dessert to share if you can. The suggested donation of $5 will cover costs and leave more in the bank for the fall election.
