June is here and that means the Catholic church picnics are here, too. From June to September, Catholic churches in Kentucky have theirr annual fund-raising picnics. Usually for Friday and Saturday evenings, the picnics have lots of food, games of chance, and beer - lots of beer. Back in the day when I was a kid, a family friend would take me and her two sons to the local picnics on Friday and Saturday nights where we would go throughout the area with big garbage bags picking up empty beer cans. We would keep the bags of cans in our garage until the big semi trailer was at the Dixie Manor shopping center collecting the 6 aluminum and paying for them. For a kid, if we each got 6 or 7 bucks, we thought we were rich.
