The short answer is yes. The state leaves it up to the local municipalities.

The longer answer is the picnic was originally to be in a park policed by the county. The sheriff said that anyone carrying a firearm that was not unloaded and in a carrying case could be cited for violating county ordinance. This is why the organizers moved the picnic to a park in a town which allows loaded guns. The guns must be holstered.
