On Saturday Shawn, Meredith, Mallory, and Kelly F. volunteered with the Ohio Society at their annual "Back to Your Roots" Summer Picnic. We arrived early in the afternoon at Montrose Park to assist with the picnic set up and organization of tables and tents.
Once the set up was complete, we were guests of the picnic along with people from all over Ohio. We enjoyed meeting the many Ohioans living in the Washington area, and Shawn and Kelly even had the opportunity to hang out with people from work (Senator Voinovich's staff and Ohio State University Federal Relations staff). We also dined on some Ohio favorites including Montgomery Inn barbeque, Cheryl & Co. Cookies, Graters' Ice Cream, and Skyline Chili.
At the end of the night we watched the raffle prizes of two airline tickets and two Ohio State-Indiana football tickets be awarded to two very excited Ohioans. After taking a picture for Laura, the four of us set off for our Capitol Hill home, feeling less homesick after our warm Ohio welcome to the DC area. - Kelly F., Shawn, Meredith, and Mallory
