Come Cool off at BAND Family Picnic!

Bring your swimsuits and the kids and come cool off on the water slide! You are invited to join the Bay Area New Democrats (BAND) for an old-fashioned family event 4 to 8 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 1 in Landolt Pavilion at Clear Lake Park on NASA Parkway!

The BAND Family Picnic and Rally features food, fun and music, plus appearances by local and statewide candidates in the upcoming election. Among the candidates confirmed so far is Jeff Weems, the Democratic nominee for state railroad commissioner.

Amusements include a moonwalk and water slide, plus carnival-style games like ring toss and beanbag toss. We'll also play Bingo for prizes.

Tickets, available for purchase at the door, are $10 for ages six and over, and free for ages five and under. The price includes admission to the event and all games and amusements. Cookout-type food, including burgers, hot dogs and corn-on-the-cob, will be for sale at the event.
