(KNSI) – KNSI’s summer neighborhood picnic series continues Thursday with its second stop of the season at Ridgewood Park in St. Cloud.

The free event, known this year as “Meet Your Neighbor” after previously going by “Know Your Neighbor,” runs from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.

Residents can expect hot dogs, chips, drinks and prizes. Two lucky kids will also walk away with a new bike. Organizers are asking guests to bring a lawn chair.

The picnic series is supported by Hanson Paving, Bernick’s, Manea’s Meats and the St. Cloud YMCA.

Two more picnics are scheduled this summer: Riverside Park on Thursday, July 16th; and a National Night Out event at Eastman Park near Lake George on Tuesday, August 4th.
