Dear Du Pont Employees and Retirees:
July 19, 1977
It is a pleasure to invite you to the Du Pont annual picnic at the Guion house on Sky Valley
Road Saturday, July 30. Throughout the day there will be competitive games (horseshoe
pitch, footrace, golf pitch, wood chopping, crosscut saw, etc.). The kids will enjoy the
merry-go-round, the train, the space walk and the cotton candy while the folks 12 years
and older may enjoy the Bingo games. There are over 60 prizes including a TV set, so there
will be a great deal of bingo playing in the barn.
Hamburgers, hotdogs, chili, baked beans, chips, lettuce, tomatoes, ketchup, onions, ice
cream, regular and diet drinks will be served by Hardees. Watermelons will be sliced starting
at 11:00 a.m. until the 250 large melons are consumed.
You may like to bring a chair to sit in while you enjoy the 3 teams of doggers and the
country/blue grass music bands.
Every hour on the hour the fishing truck will take the fishermen to the river, where they can
try to catch the longest or the heaviest fish and win a $10.00 first prize or a $5.00 second
prize. (4 prizes)
The DERA Picnic Committee hopes you will come and have a good day and would like to
suggest that you:
• Drive defensively on Sky Valley Road
• Slow down
• Blow your horn in blind curves.
All Du Pont employees, their families and house guests and guests invited by the Company
are welcome and eligible for the door prize and the treasure to be given away at the end of
the day.
Looking forward to being with you.
Sincerely,
THE PICNIC COMMITTEE

COME TO THE BIG PLANT PICNIC!
(See schedule of events on Page 6)
ANNUAL DU PONT PICNIC
Food, fun, excitement, prizes and more!
What do these words conjur up in a Du
Pont employee's mind? The annual picnic
of course! This year, Du Ponters and their
families are invited to the Guion Farm,
on July 30th, to participate in the day long
festivities.
Be sure to come with a hearty appetite.
Food will be served throughout the day
starting at 11:00 AM and ending at 5:30
PM. With additional serving lines, it will
be even easier to come back for seconds,
thirds, or even more ... If you don't
get enough of that good Hardee's food,
then help yourself to as much ice cream
as you want. Finally, for those of you
who dare, and don't count calories, keep
in mind the donut eating contest in the
afternoon.
To create even more fun and excite
ment, everyone can participate in the
treasure hunt, vie for the door prize, enter
the fishing event and join in the tobacco
spitting contest.
The youngsters will have a big day of
events in which they can have fun and
compete against one another. Activities
will include balloon blowing, greasy pole,
foot race, shoe scramble, penny scramble,
tow sack race, backward race, three-legged
race and the egg toss. A merry-go-round,
trainrides and the spacewalk will be day
long fun for the smaller children.
Adults, young and old, can participate
in the horseshoe pitch, bingo, softball
throw, softball game, balloon bursting,
cross cut saw and golf pitch.
Winners will receive silver dollar awards
for all events. While all the action takes
place, pictures will be made by a roving
photographer to capture your day on film
and give you a souvenir to take home.
Music will be provided by three string
bands and as always, first aid will be
available for minor scrapes and bee stings.
To avoid ant hills, and soiled clothes bring
a chair or blanket to sit on.
Many long hours of planning and pre
paration are involved in making this day a
special one for every picnicker. If asked
to take part and share in the work load
behind the scenes or up front, please help
if you can. In this way, we will have the
best picnic ever and everyone can join in
to "Have Fun Safely."
