Newbury Park Storage Facility Staff Provides Memorial Day Picnic Inspiration

Memorial Day is less than a week away. What does it mean to you? Hopefully, we all associate it with a day to pause and reflect on our country’s fallen heroes. But, we’re also likely to participate in some sort of festivities. Lots of us will come together at parks or at the beach for a Memorial Day picnic. So, in honor of the tradition American’s have with picnicking on Memorial Day, the storage facility staff at Hollywood Storage Center of Thousand Oaks was asked to provide their best picnic-inspired ideas.

Idea Number 4 – Red, White and Blue Food

We love the idea of theming a Memorial Day picnic with red, white and blue food, and it’s surprising how many great dishes you can actually create when you’re armed with a bit of food coloring. Here are some of Storage Consultant Lindsay’s favorite finds:

Idea Number 3 – Great Gear for Comfort

Memorial Day picnics are not typically an eat-and-run type of outing. You’re making a commitment for a good portion of your day. So, you might as well be comfortable, right? We knew we could count on our Clean Team™ Supervisor Page to find some must-haves to make the day great. From a waterproof, yet comfy picnic blanket, to a pop-up shade, to the perfect picnic lounger, he found the best.
