On September 13, 2026, the Russian Heritage Society gathered at Shawnee Mission Park in Shawnee, Kansas, for our Annual Fall Picnic.

Families and friends of all ages came together for an afternoon outdoors, and as always, our potluck table did not disappoint — everyone brought something delicious to share. It was wonderful to see familiar faces and welcome newcomers to our community.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to all who contributed to the potluck dinner. Events like this are what make our community feel like family.

We look forward to seeing you at our next gathering!
