Summer is here and in case you didn’t know, July is National Picnic Month! It is time for family gatherings and fun outdoor activities, so gather up your family and friends, everyone’s favorite picnic goodies and head to a park, the beach or your own back yard for good food and fellowship. This well-appointed picnic hamper is from the 1940s-1960s era. Along with a place setting for four, the hamper contains a saucepan, a frying pan, teapot and a steamer. With this mini kitchen you can prepare just about anything on the grill or camp stove. In 1952, the National Bakers’ Association established National Picnic Month.
