The Laceys of Corbett NY in Delaware County had their annual "2 Saturdays after the 4th" picnic at the Corbett Community Hall and field. This year there was a good turnout with 112 coming. The picnic started as the descendants of Silas Lacey but has been extended to Silas' brothers Wiley and Joe. The weather was threatening but the rain held off and a good time was had by all.
The food was great and people brought a dish to pass like the old-time tradition. The Lacey "clan" provided roasted pork for the "pork pullin" fest with the Hillbilly theme.
