History of Ed's Penny Picnic: For many years, Zoobie’s was called Ed’s Bar, and years
ago, Ed would have an annual picnic at a local park for his regular customers.
The story goes that there was a plate above the mirror behind the bar, and if you
could land
a penny on the plate, you got an invite to the picnic.
