First and formost: WE ARE CELEBRATING THE SESQUICENTENNIAL - 150 YEARS since Joel Estes discovered Estes Park!
We are having our next reunion in Estes Park, CO starting on Thursday, July 23, 2009 with registration from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Estes Park Museum.
Following at 6 p.m. will be a B-B-Q at the home of Sandy Moravec, 325 Saddleback Lane, Estes Park.
On Friday, July 24th, we are having the pot-luck picnic from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the large shelter at Stanley Park. Everyone is asked to bring a dish to share.
On Saturday, July 25th at 2 p.m. there will be a presentation by Dr. James H. Pickering on the founding of Estes Park, at the Estes Park Museum.
At 6 p.m. is the Buffet dinner at the museum. Pre-paid reservations are $13. A business meeting will follow the dinner.
Sunday, July 26th at 9:30 a.m. is the Buffet getaway brunch at the Mary's Lake Lodge. Pay at the door. Price is $10.95.
Note: Pre-registration closed on June 10th.

If you are not able to attend our family reunion this year, you will sorely be missed! And we all hope to see you at the next reunion...date TBA after this reunion.

Jack has informed the Chair that the pre-registration attendance is up this year from the last couple of reunions. That's great...we hope more of you will have the desire to attend the next one, too.

On the side - my family is thinking about going miniture golfing or bowling (or maybe a movie) Friday evening after the picnic...if you are interested, please let me know, we would love to have you join us.

  1. Great job, Kathy! I'm sad I can't make it to the reunion this year but hopefully I can in the future.

  2. Kathy - This is a great idea!! Bringing us into the future!! Right now I am working on a float for the Estes Park Rodeo Parade on July 7th. We now have a flatbed trailer with truck to pull it. Have not seen it yet and want to do some decorating. Think we might have 6 to 10 Estes relatives to ride in it. Theme for the parade is: "Women of the West and the men who loved them". Is that appropriate or what?
    The museum has a display case outside the meeting hall which will be devoted to the Estes family - we will set it up June 30th.
    Looking forward to our Reunion!!
