Decluttering Camera Roll by displaying “this day in history” photos with easy selection, review, and deletion

I have been trying to make this shortcut off and on for a few years whenever I get sucked back into playing with shortcuts, automation, and NFC tags. I know there are paid apps out there with the same goal but I wanted to clean my thousands of photos out a little bit at a time.

This shortcut will find all of your photos/Live Photos/videos you have for today’s month/day over the last 25 years stored in your Camera Roll. It will then display them, where you can select specific ones for deletion. You will be able to review your marked photos full-screen each before you say okay go ahead and delete. Of course, if you make a mistake, these photos will be found and recoverable in your Recently Deleted folder.

The only thing I would like to improve is I would like to be able to change my mind on a single selection without starting over. If anyone knows how to do that successfully, that would be a cool addition!

I’ve set an automation for this to prompt me to run every day on my lunch break and hopefully after the end of a calendar year my Camera Roll will be de-junked!

Affordable place for 25+ to gather for family reunion in October?

My mom is looking for a place in Lexington to host a family reunion for 25+ people in October, so weather may be nice or may be colder (so outdoors is a possibility, but prefer indoors). As with a lot of reunions, many of the folks attending will be older and we'd prefer not to be out in the blazing sun or cold, and have seating. This is not an affluent group of family, and we'd like to find somewhere affordable, that would allow a potluck meal in the space. Many people have recommended restaurants with party rooms, but this is not a group that will go to Malone's etc.

I've checked into the public parks picnic shelters for rent, that is one viable option. We also have a connection to Rosemont Baptist Church and are going to see if they would let us use their facilities. I checked into the public library community rooms, but they do not allow meals (which, fair). Other than those, any further suggestions for a potluck gathering for 25+ people at an affordable cost (aka not hundreds of dollars)?
