Hello! Thanks so much for visiting the Proper Boards & Picnics website.
My name is Paxton Rein, and I am the brains/labor behind the Proper Boards and Picnics operation. I was born and raised in Great Bend, KS and couldn’t be more proud of it! I graduated from the University of Kansas in 2015 and then lived in Kansas City for about 5 years. I moved back to Great Bend because this central Kansas gal got tired of the noisy, busy, traffic-filled city. It’s been nice to hang with family more and connect with old friends.
Proper Boards & Picnics isn’t my only gig, I work from home during the day as a project manager for an online food ordering company. I love my job but I am a busy body and found myself with time in the evenings to spare! I love food but more specifically I love bringing people together over delicious food and creative ways to eat food. I’ve always love building charcuterie boards and planning small events so with that, Proper Boards and Picnics was born! I’m so excited to be offering this to my favorite hometown and surrounding areas.
