The picnic is taking place at the Huntington State Park. Food will be served starting at 11:00 a.m. and a program of speakers and a fund-raising raffle will be held. T-shirts with “Co-Op Miners—UMWA Local 9957—District 22—Here We Come—United Mine Workers of America” in English on the front and Spanish on the back will be available for $10.

Many retired miners from nearby East Carbon have donated raffle prizes. Miners report that a member of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union in Seattle called to say that a carload of workers from Washington State is coming.
