Both mass and Besta Berri were celebrated by Father Antton Egiguren Iraola from Boise, Idaho. Mass was followed by a steak barbecue lunch. Entertainment was provided by the Chino dance groups and klika, followed by a lamb barbecue dinner and public dancing to Holakiki–a group from the Basque Country. This picnic had it all–even a heavy down-pour of rain followed by sunshine and cooler weather.
Thank you to all the dance instructors (Jeanette Duhart, Angela Arrosagaray, Annette Indaburu, Maite Maisterrena, Aline Anema, Bernadette Iturriria and Michelle Jaureguy) for the time and effort you give to our young dancers. And thank you Hannah Isom and Christian Jaureguy for making us so proud every time we watch the Gauden Bat dance.

1st Place: Tony Campos
2nd Place: Nicholas Quincey
3rd Place: Nancy Petrissans
4th Place: Tom Mullen
5th Place: Marianna Etcheverria
