INITIAL PLANS FOR JULY 15, 2017

FROM DALE 5/10/2017:
To give you all an initial update for the Family Reunion for this year, on July 15, 2017. We have rented the Readfield Town Beach for the day. Will be a one day reunion this year. We are working smart, not hard. No cooking - each family bring a picnic lunch, enough to feed your family. If you choose to share it with others that is great, but we are each responsible for our own lunches. When Sandi and I were growing up Mum and Dad took us for Sunday rides and picnics every summer Sunday and we called them "Prampie Picnics". So, the picnic is in Prampie (Dad's) honor! There are BBQ pits for those who do wish to cook their own lunch. There are picnic tables there we can move and use as wish. It is ok to set up our white tent that morning - will need some volunteers to help with that and I will make sure those doing that know where we can set that up. It will have to be set up and taken down on the same day. We have the beach all day from 9am on. There is a volley ball court, swings, horse shoes (going in next week) and swimming - of course. No lifeguards there. Can bring kyacks, paddle boards and canoes if wish and there is a place where motor boats can be brought in - off to the side - although somewhat rocky and requires care. Would have to launch them at Dead Stream though. There is plenty of parking and porta pottie is already there. Bring lawn chairs. No drinking alcohol and NO GLASS on the property. Weathervane is right there for those who want to drink alcohol. The Old Fairgounds trail is nearby for those who wish I would be happy to give a walking tour and history lesson of the Old Fairgrounds - stong ties to Grandpa and Grammie during their Granger days.
We will be sharing more deatils about plans for the day later but in the meantime wanted you to know our plans thus far. Ask questions you may have, please, so we can address at our "Henry and Evelyn family planning meeting".
