Chicago Area Mensa Summer Picnic

Salt Creek Park

570 W 2nd Street

Elmhurst, IL 60126

After last year’s success, we have decided to have another summer picnic for Chicago Area Mensa members and their family and friends. This year it’s later in July so people going to the AG in Phoenix can attend. Some members are always looking for more activities. Others have told us that some activities are too costly. This venue, which is centrally located, has been chosen to accommodate as many local Mensans as possible.

Chicago Area Mensa will provide burgers hot dogs, bratwursts, veggie burgers, and many sides, condiments, snacks, drinks, and desserts, as well as plates, napkins, and utensils. The park district permit for the picnic does not allow us to provide alcohol.

The site has a pavilion that will accommodate up to 150 people, so the picnic will be held rain or shine (unless the weather is truly awful). There is a bathroom by the baseball diamond. Bring games and equipment for outdoor activities.

The cost is $7 per adult and $3 per child with the same pricing for members and non-members alike. We would like as many members as possible to register in order to have enough food on hand.
