THE COUNTDOWN HAS STARTED

Things are coming together, the countdown has started. I was informed we have 13 more sleeps till the reunion.
Shirts, cookbooks, schedules, programs, and the dinner is set and ready for us, the last is the CD slide show to make. Photos are in and the show is set to be made leaving room for those who are bringing photos to the reunion with them so the finishing touches can be added and finalized before the show.

Friday night will be a potluck dinner at the Hilltop Lodge at 6pm
so bring something to share.

Saturday morning will be picture time, group photo first them families with children next so the young ones don't get restless and stay happy. So wear your reunion shirts, and put on a grand smile!!!

There will also be a horseshoe tournament again this year, hope you have been practicing. Other games will be played also and everyone is encouraged to take part, there will be something for all ages.

Saturday evening will be our Lula pig roast buffet dinner, be prepared to eat, visit, enjoy the entertainment. The auction is also set for this evening so don't forget to bring your Fake, bake or make item to be auctioned off and bring money to buy. The money goes for future reunions and hope we have many more in the future.

Sunday we will have our family devotional time and lunch before we have to say goodbye for another 3 years.

Cookbooks will be for sale also $10 a piece, also funding for future reunions, orders can be made for more if by chance the demand is higher the count brought to the reunion.
