We hope you’re looking forward to this year’s reunion as much as we are! In addition to the requisite card and dice games, we’ll have horseshoes and water play for the kids – so don’t forget to bring your water guns!
Join us for breakfast at 9 am. Dinner will be around Noon – we’ll provide the meat and are asking everyone to bring something to share (potluck style). Beverages (tea, lemonade, water, etc.) will be provided but, if you’d like something different, please bring your own booze and soda. Now, what could be better on a hot summer day than homemade ice cream? If you have an ice cream maker, please let us know – we’ll need several to keep the sweet stuff churning!
Don’t forget your lawn chairs, a blanket or two to sit on, and anything else that might make a day in the sun more comfortable. Since this will be on the Fourth of JULY, we’re planning to head into town at the end of the day for some great fireworks. If you want to bring some of your own, you’ll be able to set them off there.
We need to know how many of you will be attending so that we can make the final plans for food, drinks, etc. Please fill out the postcard that was mailed to you this week and send it back right away!
Although many of you live in the area or have family you can stay with, we wanted to provide a list of motels and campsites, just in case. Remember, this is a holiday weekend so make your reservations now! Of course, you’re welcome to pitch your tent or park your trailer at Barb & Brad’s place but you need to let her know right away! (Keep in mind that they will already have a houseful and won’t be able to provide any hookups, showers, etc.)
