Sunday, November 14th, 2020 — A small group of the Triangle’s Yelp Elite Squad were treated to a picnic at the park where they enjoyed charcuterie and views of downtown Raleigh’s skyline while getting creative with a fall-inspired paint-by-numbers. This thoughtfully-planned and well-executed event wouldn’t have been possible without three, local women-owned businesses — Southern Picnics, On Board Charcuterie & Catering, and Joy Worthy Co.
Yelpers were able to eat their way through gourmet charcuterie boxes and have their photos professionally taken at the picnic set ups, chock-full of flowers and vintage touches. Thankfully, our event photographer, Em Bateman, spent the afternoon with us to capture all of the event’s highlights.
What a fun event! The idea of putting together a picnic at the park, with a charcuterie box and paint-by-numbers was amazing and exactly my kind of afternoon fun! This was my first Yelp Elite event and I’m so happy to be part of it!
