We are pleased to announce the 15th Annual Bears Picnic Family Reunion will be held again at Blain Picnic Ground in Blain, PA. It is a gorgeous shaded campground along Sherman Creek with swimming holes and a playground.

Our event offers craft and food vendors, children’s activities, games, movies, and music until Midnight each day.

​

Gates open at 12:00 Noon on Friday, August 14, 2020 

(No public admittance prior to noon)

This is a rain or shine event.

Music starts at 4:00 p.m.

​

Many changes have been made to protect staff and patrons

during the COVID crisis. 

We are only selling 25% of the venue capacity, and have added

an additional field for parking so everyone has

plenty of room to spread out. 

The concert field has been expanded to accommodate

two outdoor stages and room to practice social distancing.

Ample porta-johns, wash stations, and sanitizer are provided, 

as well as staff to keep them clean.

Vendors are spread out on the perimeter of the concert field.

Eliminated the need for people getting out of their vehicle to check in.

​

Everyone entering must:

• Possess a face mask and use it when social distancing is not possible.

• Have temperature taken at gate before entry

• Sign a waiver (online ticket purchase is your electronic signature)

• Practice social distancing (in effect at that time)

• Be respectful of each others space and wishes. If everyone practices good hygiene and does their part, together we can make this a positive experience for everyone.
