At the 2003 Reunion held in Mink Creek, Idaho we had a turn out of about 50 people & was a fun time for all who attended. There were plenty of games and activities for everyone no matter the age group. Everyone took advantage of what the park had to offer: there was a baseball diamond, playground, horse shoes, and plenty of open grass to roam.

Other games and activities that people brought were badminton which the young kids loved. We had foam pictures for the young kids along with 2 pinchata’s for ages 1-12. Richard brought his foam for making rockets which they could shot from this air pump thing he made. Leo H. brought a game called bocci ball. And the young adults played Canasta for most of the reunion & Hand & Foot tell late into the night. Some of the older adults played Bridge. Melvin brought the cotton candy machine for everyone to have.

We had a great turn out for the auction. We would like to thank Russell Pyne for being our auctioneer. He definitely made it fun, exciting, and very interesting.
