We're hoping to make this a recurring annual celebration of the Chicago area gifted community, and a place where gifted families and kids have an opportunity to meet and reconnect with each other.

I have talked to a few friends and they may go as well with families of course! I am looking forward to meetng people from the area and hopefully some will have children at some of the private schools so I can pick their brains!

I'd estimate we had about 100 people (including kids) and the site holds up to 300, which leaves us room to grow. If you didn't make the picnic this year, we hope to see you in 2013!
