Yesterday was a sunny day at Reservoir Park as area residents gathered for another successful Tyrone Community Labor Day picnic.
It was reported that the largest group of children ever enjoyed games held at the amphitheater and pool. The Schoch Hollow Band provided musical entertainment as everyone enjoyed an array of food prepared by area service organizations. Adult prize bingo was enjoyed by many as well.
The day ended with everyone watching as the children competed in watermelon and pie eating contests.
