MB Centennial Picnic Photos

The historical picnic that followed the parade on Saturday was a nice finishing touch to yet another celebration of the city's 100th anniversary.

The current Manhattan Beach City Council helped cut the cake to celebrate the city's 100th anniversary at a historical picnic in Polliwog Park. Beckers Bakery, a longtime MB business, created the special cakes for the occasion.

Manhattan Beach resident Wilmer Drake and his sons were announced as "Best Car" in the centennial parade that was held right before the picnic. They rode in a Packard.

Councilman Nick Tell, who is on the city's centennial committee, which has been responsible for planning events to commemorate the 100th anniversary, gave opening remarks at the picnic.
