7th ANNUAL BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION PICNIC

The NHSP Benevolent Association hosted the 7th Annual Summer Picnic on Sunday, July 12, 2015, at Ellacoya State Park in Gilford. The event featured the popular lobsters and steamers along with hot dogs and hamburgers and a dish to share by everyone who attended. Retired Trooper Jeff Bonan came through once again with the organization of the outing. He cooked the lobsters and steamers while Retired Trooper Cathy McHugh flipped countless hamburgers and hot dogs with the help of her Husband, Joe, Lisa Johnston, Cheryl Janelle and Jeff Kellett. Jeff Bonan also had a lot of help and assistance this year from his Dad, Vito, his daughter, Courtney, her boyfriend, Matt, and others.

It was a beautiful Summer day for the picnic. Many of our members and their families spent some time at the beach this year swimming to keep cool. Ellacoya was packed with people this year due to the hot weather. The kids enjoyed swimming and games such as the egg toss and a raffle. There was a Christmas Card Drawing Contest for the kids for the 2015 Benevolent Association Christmas Card. The winner of this contest is revealed when the Christmas Card is sent out in December.

Trooper Dick Perreault presented us with his Tricky Dick's Magic Show performance. He is so entertaining and everyone enjoyed the show--not just the kids!

This is the first year we went without the bouncy house due to regulations. Because of everything we had going on, it didn't seem to be missed.

A big thank you to Jeff Bonan for everything that he does to help make this a successful picnic! He books the Picnic Pavilion at Ellacoya every year, orders the lobsters, steamers and meat and so much more. We appreciate everything he does so much!
