Annual Picnic Photos for 2003/2004

Each year the Friends members get together socially to eat, drink and be merry. OK the drink is just punch and coffee but the merry is genuine fun including such activities as treasure hunts, raw egg tosses that end up being very messy, and a croquet game or two.

Annual Spaghetti Dinner celebration

One of two fundraisers held a year, the spaghetti happens in the spring and the funds raised are used for cleanup nd operation of the park as well as the cottage. The monies are also used to support indigent families at Christmas time.

Annual Harvest Fest Dinner

The second fundraiser of the year, the Harvest Fest is held in October each year. Like the Spaghetti dinner, the community attends and is fed wonderful food, and their donations go towards operating costs and supporting selected community projects.

Playground Project

A one time project that the Friends Of Columbia Park partnered with the Portland Parks Bureau and the Community Association of Portsmouth, in order to build anew and beautify the existing playground equipment in Columbia Park.

Volunteer Awards Dinner

Portland Parks and Rec Volunteer Dinner honor all Friends of Columbia Park volunteers for their work at both the Park and at Columbia Cottage.
