In-town pool report #11 - Picnic

Pool walked onto the lawn to a rendition of Dancing Queen by ABBA.

The South Lawn has been turned into a sprawling picnic area with tables and chairs, a stage, a food tent and a Ferris wheel.

Your pooler spotted Sen. Jim Risch, Rep. Don Bacon, Rep. Brian Mast, Rep. Steve Scalise, DHS Secretary Marwayne Mullin and AG Todd Blanche in attendance so far.

Also, passing along some details courtesy of the Office of the First Lady:
