[Gravitee] The Atlanta Greek Picnic 2010

I joined the OneGreekStore or OGS crew for a weekend (June 18th-19th) as vendors at the Atlanta Greek Picnic 2010. It's a annual gathering of the NPHC organizations in Atlanta.

My official duty for the weekend: tiki mistress. That's right, I was in charge of the hundreds of tikis the OGS crew brought to sell. We had standard tikis, number tikis (a HUGE hit), and wooden-beaded tikis. OGS also had a huge selection of other accessories, tshirts, and line jackets. Overall, a pretty successful weekend. Did I mention that it was HOT in Atlanta that weekend?

Working with the OGS guys was really fun; it hardly seemed like work. The best part of the weekend though was seeing such a large gathering of NPHC greeks. There were hundreds (maybe 1000+ at just the picnic) of people and you could see 3 generations of greeks there (old grandmas and grandpas, parent alums, and their kids the neos). As a MGC greek, I hope to see our annual Unity Mixer, or another event like it, grow to be something just like this in the years to come.
