Each year since 2008, an Annual August Picnic has been held, usually in Centennial Park at the corner of Main Street and Bryant Road. Twice, due to inclement weather, it has been moved to the Horsesheds and under tents there.

It has been an occasion for VIS members and friends and neighbors to gather after the VIS Annual Meeting for a pot luck supper that always delights. There is often a grill for cooking hot dogs and hamburgers. The VIS supplies drinks, chips and the like. People bring their picnic blankets and chairs and take the opportunity on this late summer afternoon to chat with each other leisurely before the winter hibernation sets in.
