Record turnout for city picnic

The city had planned for a crowd of up to 900 for its seventh annual Bayou Picnic on Saturday. About an hour into the two-and-a-half-hour event at East Grand River Park, Mayor Roger Bergman had to announce to the people waiting in line that they've run out of food. "I never had to announce we ran out of food before,' he said. The city scrambled to order dozens of pizzas from several Grand Haven pizzerias, but still didn't have enough to go around.
