It’s the first day of fall, and in our opinion, this crisp weather we’ve been having is perfect for some picnicking. 🍂 Erin here, and I partook in my first ever picnic this past summer. It was the perfect way to spend time outside with friends and family — some of whom were still social distancing — and simply have a few hours to converse, play yard games, and nibble on yummy foods.
But it’s no small feat putting it all together — the food, the drinks, the setup… wouldn’t it be nice if someone could do it all for you, like in those period dramas? Which is why we were thrilled to find out there are now companies in Raleigh doing just that. Here’s a quick look:
🧀 Southern Picnics
