Wikipedia:Meetup/Bloomington, IN/Wiknic/2013

This year, the Indianapolis-Evansville-Bloomington Wiknic will be held in Bloomington. Bloomington Wikipedians should discuss options for hosting it on the talk page.

Place: We met at Jordan Avenue Garage in Bloomington, Indiana. Then, after some deliberation, we decided Leonard Springs Nature Park would be a great place to have our picnic, so we carpooled over there, where we met up with a few more Wikipedians.

Time: 12 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time

Food: "Lunch" was served at 3 EDT on the bog. We started our course with homegrown pods of peas, which was followed with a lesson on how to cut ourselves a slice of watermelon. The tradition of Evansville specialties was continued with Ski and Grippo's. Pepsi, Pringles, and baby carrots helped make it a well-balanced lunch. For dessert, we had chocolate chip muffins.

Date: 15 June 2013

Audience: Five Bloomington Wikipedians, one Evansville Wikipedian. We got a few surprise visits, including a ranger giving a tour (who didn't seem to mind us having a picnic on his grounds). He was accompanied by a sizable group of adults and young children, and we got a little chance to throw in our Wikipedia plug.

Cost: Free! (well, except getting there)
