Welcome to UC Davis’ annual open house

Whether you come to pick up a free tomato plant, make a tie-dye shirt, check out the walking sticks at the Bohart Museum of Entomology or watch amazing dogs do their tricks, Picnic Day 2008 is the place to be  on April 19.

We advise you begin with the pancake breakfast, proceed to a good spot to watch the parade, check out the talent shows, find a seat for the dachshund races and end your day listening to the Battle of the Bands.

Here are more ideas for places on how to make the day memorable. Also, make sure you check out more details on the day from the student board’s official Web site Picnic Day 2008 — A Kaleidoscope of Voices.
