Describe the scene, the mood, and the feelings of the Stamps' summer picnic fish fry?

It is summer, and the whole town is at the summer picnic fish fry at the pond, the biggest event of the year in Stamps. Everyone is there, plenty of picnic food and desserts laid out, while men catch the fish and women fry them. Maya is not in a particularly celebratory mood, so she escapes to a clearing and is surprised to be found by Louise Kendricks, a girl she knows from school. Maya wants to run away and find another spot, but Louise befriends her, and both start playing together in the clearing. Louise becomes Maya's first friend, other than Bailey of course, and around her Maya is able to become a giggly, happy girl like she hasn't been before.
