The Technical Division picnic at Kuhn Barn is an end-of-summer ritual. On sunny Aug. 31, division members met for food, a raffle and the occasional handstand practice. Tom Nicol was there to snap photos. Enjoy the photo gallery. Click on the magnifying glass in the lower right corner to view pictures in full.
