The Little Miss, Junior Miss, and Little Mister pageants are rounding out day one of the Morisonville picnic with David Allen Stone performing live in the beer tent to finish Thursday's events.

Friday and Saturday nights of the Morrisonville Picnic and Homecoming a children's bicycle giveaway winner will be announced at the carnival ticket booth. One boys bike and one Girls bike will be given away as armbands purchased for carnival rides enter the child to win the prize.
The Kid’s Parade runs through the park at 6:00 P.M. on Friday to display the creative floats local children have created. This event is free to attend.
Saturday's events get started with the bags tournament from 11:00 A.M. to 12:00 P.M. in the beer tent. The petting zoo will also be available all three days of the picnic, to watch and interact with local livestock.
The picnic this year has fallen on some of the hottest days of the summer. To keep the attendees cool during the event-filled days is a cooling tent, brought to you by the Morrisonville Fire Department.
The Morisonville Picnic and Homecoming has something in store for everyone, from carnival rides to nightly live music, and of course the frog jump contest, you will not want to miss out on the picnic.
