Okyeman Cultural Association

2002 Ohum Picnic

Saturday, July 27, 2002 was a day to remember. Okyeman members enjoyed themselves with their families on the ocasion of Annual Ohum Picnic. This celebration took place at the Thompson Park on Brimley and Lawrence Avenue in Scarborough, Toronto.

As early as 9 a.m. members started arriving at the park with their families. The park was flooded the previous day after a heavy downpour, so some members volunteered to clean the entire spot ready for the picnic. The weather was nice and clear and no anticipation of rain in the weather forecast.

At 11 a.m. the barbecue grill was fired and the meat, sausages, burgers, hot dogs started to roll. Members started serving themselves with food brought by the ladies and some bachelors. Of course some bachelors are more than chefs in their own kitchen.

Children started playing around and members started grouping having various discussions about activities of the association. It was a day to remember. Pictures were taken for the album.

The picnic came to close around 7 p.m.
