We meet in the center of the Elwood area, which just happens to be the cemetery! This year Jodi was designated &#8220;assistant to the Co-Chair&#8221; (Rhonda), so the weekend before the picnic, Rhonda and Jodi were busy putting up flyers around town. Timing worked out great this year since Cindi (Jodi&#8217;s mom) arrived in town the day before and was here to participate in the fesivities! Brad, Jodi and Cindi helped set up the picnic area by picking up several tables from around town, and helping to transport the roasted pig. This year we even had a surpise visit from Cindy, the local reporter from the Molalla Pioneer! As expected, we had a good turn out and everyone left feeling stuffed!<\/p>\n<p>John finishing up the pig and preparing for transport:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3576\" title=\"Aug08_Elwood Picnic1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"384\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic1.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 384px) 100vw, 384px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3577\" title=\"Aug08_Elwood Picnic2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic2-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>Elbert carving the pic (notice Brad, Jodi &amp; Cindi in the background):<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3578\" title=\"Aug08_Elwood Picnic3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic3.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic3-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3579\" title=\"Aug08_Elwood Picnic4\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic4.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic4-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a>The Elwood community, and Lance &amp; Lindy:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3580\" title=\"Aug08_Elwood Picnic5\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic5.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic5-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic6.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3581\" title=\"Aug08_Elwood Picnic6\" src=\"http:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic6.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.jbranchblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/04\/Aug08_Elwood-Picnic6-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every year the Elwood Community comes together for food and fun.
