Kick off the family reunion weekend with us at the beautiful Crystal Ridge Distillery’s event venue—family-friendly and full of warm hospitality! Join us Friday evening for a relaxed and fun-filled gathering where you can check in for the weekend, pick up your welcome bags, and collect any shirts, books, or other items you've ordered.

Explore the distillery with complimentary tours and enjoy $10 tastings of their well-crafted, surprisingly smooth moonshine—perfect for discovering new favorites. Sodas, water, and tea will be provided to keep everyone refreshed, and our tasty taco bar will be available for dinner. Adult beverages are also available for purchase if you’d like to indulge further.

This is the perfect opportunity to meet and reconnect with family members, make new friends, and kick off the weekend in great company. We can’t wait to see you there!

If exploring isn’t your thing, join us on Saturday for a classic summer BBQ & pool party! Enjoy the relaxed fun with family-friendly activities like dominoes, cards, bag toss, and other yard games. There’s some indoor seating, a covered patio for shaded comfort, and a community-sized pool with lounge chairs to relax and soak up the sun. The delicious barbecue will be catered by Smokin Style BBQ, ensuring everyone leaves satisfied.

Water, soda, and juices will be provided, but if you are interested in enjoying adult beverages, please note that you will need to bring your own, as adult drinks will not be provided.

Join us Saturday evening for our all-things-family-reunion banquet—a celebration of our bond and the love that brings us together. Unlike traditional family reunion banquets, this will be a casual, relaxed gathering where comfort is key. It’s the perfect time to wear your family shirts and show off our shared connection!

Our theme, "All Because Two People Fell in Love," will be reflected in our shirts, which will feature a unified Richard & Sarah design. To honor each senior, each family will wear a shirt that represents them, helping us identify how we are connected and allowing us to celebrate the roots of the unique branch of the family we each belong to.

This evening is also an opportunity for us to cast our votes on the future of our family gatherings—discussing ideas for style, identify the next hosting committee, location, and how often we come together. Plus, we’ll share learnings from family members’ expertise, play fun games, and deepen our understanding of our family history. 

Sunday's farewell planning is pending  and will be determined based on family polls, attendance, travel arrangements, and available funds.
