06/11/22 I have received several requests for a summertime get together to talk shad, and shad fishing. On Saturday July 16th, we will be hosting a picnic, at the Riverside Bar And Grill, 5801 S. Delaware Dr. Easton, Pa. This is not a fundraiser, it will be at cost. $25 per person. The menu will be as follows: Hamburgers, Pulled Pork, Barbeque Chicken, Corn On The Cob, Pasta Salad, Baked Beans, And Brocoli and Bacon Salad. There will be a separate cash bar, and clams will be available for $8.50 a dozen. I have to have a final count in by July 6th. If you plan on attending, please let me know, and how many in your group. Text, email, or phone. Eric 610 762 0440 eric@shadfishingcontest.com
