The American Picnic for family readiness is a celebration of all great things
American. Great music, great food, and great fun. This is a day-long event at
the local Blue & Gray Brewing Co., with numerous food vendors selling a variety
of fare unique and well-known to their state (i.e. Virginia BBQ &

Company 3-116th, 29th Light Infantry Division) and Quantico Wounded Marine Program ($5, $3
military, Children 12 and under are free). The FRG's are an all volunteer
network and are organized to support the spouses and family's here in the
Fredericksburg area while their loved one is deployed overseas. FRG's do not
receive government funds. FRG's commonly arrange for going away and homecoming
celebrations. They are also a resource for special needs such as periodic baby
sitting or short term financial assistance.
