With the money leftover from the Nut Fest kitty, we were able to frame a large picture of the official portrait, taken by Aunt Wendy, of our large family reunion. We all made a gift of this to my parents who helped to host the event. This turned out very well!
Larry is excellent at hanging pictures and he helped Mom and Dad to get it just right.
It occupies a place of honor in their living room.
With the last of the money left, we printed out over thirty banner sized copies of the picture to give to the folks who attended. Many of those pictures were given out on Thanksgiving Day to the local families.
The rest were mailed out in tubes to the families who traveled great distances to attend our fabulous family reunion, or wished they could have. It was a joy to say hello to each one in a note.
The entire weekend of the Nut Fest exceeded our expectations and rekindled the love and respect we have for our distant family members and for each other. It was fun to plan and execute and we appreciate the generous donations from our entire extended family which made it all possible.
