SATURDAY OCTOBER 25, 2025 AT 12:00 PM
We hold an Annual Colorado Yoopers Picnic every fall. 2025 will be the 25th Anniversary for our group picnic! All Yoopers and “wannabees” are welcome. Join us to meet fellow Yoopers, buy more of those delicious pasties, and support U.P. charities!
The Colorado Yoopers’ 2025 picnic will be Saturday, October 25, held once again at Carl Johnson’s office, 12640 West Cedar Drive, Lakewood 80228. Please plan to attend! If we don’t have good attendance and find new volunteers to assist, this may be the last Yooper picnic after 25 years.
Bring a dish to share and your own beverage and set-up (plates, silverware, etc.), as well as items for the donation table.
Yooper Friends –
Sadly, there will not be frozen pasties at the Yooper Picnic this year, but we will have fun and hope you attend anyway!
So few pasties were ordered this year that it doesn’t make sense to fly them here, or for Carl Johnson to drive all the way to the U.P. and then rush back with them in a freezer. Thanks to Carl for his many years of doing this!!
Hoping to see you in person very soon!
