Betty Picnic Day
Legend has it that Betty Wilder and Betty Patterson founded The Betty Club in 1987 after wondering just how many Betty’s were in their neck-of-the-woods. They posted flyers around town asking area Betty’s to stop by the first Betty Picnic. And sure enough, Betty’s from near-and-far showed up, but unlike many get-togethers, there was no need for name tags at this event! The picnic was such a hit, it became an annual event. There is also a Betty Bingo and Betty Christmas party, too.
