The Sons & Daughters of Erin will hold its annual picnic from 12 to 3pm, Saturday June 9 at Longford Park, located at 250 E. Greenbrae in Sparks.

This event kicks off the non profit Irish heritage organization renewing its commitment to adopting the park named after Sparks sister-city in Longford, Ireland.

Participants will perform a light clean up and then enjoy a picnic. The club will provide hamburgers, hot dogs, garnishments and soft drinks. We ask attendees bring a side dish to share or perhaps a dessert or salad. We also need our members to bring a few gas BBQ grills as the park does not contain those facilities. 

Please note because this is a neighborhood park there are no restroom facilities. For more information, call Willie Puchert at (775) 378-0931. 

The Cowboy Crawl takes place in downtown Sparks from 5 p.m. to midnight. The event starts and ends at the Nugget Cabaret intermingled with stops at the Cantina Los Tres Hombres, Victorian Saloon, the Alley, Paddy and Irenes, Great Basin Brewing Company, Oski's, Burgs and Trader Dicks. Crawlers are encouraged to dress in western wear.
