The picnic is a four day event and starting Thursday night, folks gathered at the old picnic grounds on the east side of the square to listen to music and hit the rides at the carnival. A new event this year was the chuckwagon breakfast, which drew more than 200 people Saturday morning.
Saturday afternoon, Leonard mayor Bill Oss presented Congressman Hall with a key to the city. Hall has represented the folks of Leonard in the U.S. Congress for more than two decades.
