The annual Lone Oak Picnic

The annual Lone Oak Picnic

100 years and counting!

One of the Biggest events in southern Montgomery County since the Central Civitan Club began sponsoring the event in 1975. It's become a gathering place for family, friends and everyone in between.

The event has changed locations a few times, but it's always been one of the key events of the summertime.

Large turnouts wave candidate-sponsored fans, munch on barbecue or sipped cold drinks during the event's activities which have included a beauty pageant, a puppet show, car show and gospel singing.

Political candidates mingle with the crowd, and give stump speeches as part of the afternoon.

There are some who have been attending the Lone Oak Picnic for more than 50 years.
