Venice Paparazzi was on the scene at the 10th Annual Venice Community BBQ & Potluck Picnic! 

.

The Venice Neighborhood Council  hosted their 10th annual Community BBQ & Potluck Picnic on Sat. July, 30, 2016 at Oakwood Park in Venice, California.  Many came out to mix and mingle with their neighbors, neighborhood council, Fire Station 63, Councilmember Mike Bonin, and to learn about what is going on in the Venice community.

Chicken, hot dogs, burgers and pulled pork were grilled and served up by Venice’s LAFD Station #63, led by Chief Jeremiah Johnson (retired) and master grillers Todd von Hoffmann and Michael Watkins.  Venice volunteers served up sides and desserts made by your Venice neighbors.  There was live music, a watermelon-eating contest, a “tug-of-war” with the firefighters, a bouncy house and other fun games for kids and adults of all ages.
