There has been a picnic at the Grange Hall the first Sunday of June since 1873.
100 years ago this June, from the Press Democrat:
“June 1, 1924: 300 Attend Bennett Valley Grange Picnic Over 300 grangers attended the basket picnic given by the Bennett Valley grange under the tree near the grange hall in Bennett Valley this evening, in commemoration of the 51st anniversary of the founding of the Bennett Valley Grange. A program of events which included races, dancing, speeches, and basket lunches, climaxed one notable state grangers, including of the greatest assemblies ever held by the grange, at which many George R. Harrison, master of the state grange, George Chclmeyer, lecturer of the state grange, and Mrs. Martha Gambel, secretary of the state grange, were present.”
