The spring Picnic in the Park was held Friday on the grounds of Princeton City Hall.
The Caldwell Chamber of Commerce sponsors the annual event as a fundraiser for scholarships they will be presenting to graduating seniors at the local high school in May.
Heather Riley with the chamber explains the number of scholarships they will be able to present will be determined by the amount of funds raised during the day. She added the lunch goes on in either rain or shine.
