The Hagerstown Parkinson’s Support Group held its summer picnic on June 21, 2019. Thirty-nine persons associated with Parkinson’s Disease enjoyed the day at Martin "Marty" L. Snook Memorial Park. It was a beautiful day for a picnic in the park. The group dined on fried chicken from AC&T accompanied by a variety of dishes and desserts provided by the participants. It was a good day, meeting some new people and reuniting with some old friends. The host, Art Guyer, recognized the absence of Paul Embly who died recently. There were also drawings for a $10 gift certificate to the Western Sizzlin’ Restaurant, a bag of chocolate, and several other small prizes. Board Member Carol Gaines called bingo for the group, giving away about 40 wrapped prizes brought by the members.

Also attending were Caroline Morse and Makea Luzader from WDVM-TV who recorded video for a newscast, interviewing several of the attendees.
