The family Tug-O-War was great. We a kids and an adult tug-o-war….We handed out prizes at the dinner on Saturday….A Horseshoe Tournament was a huge success for the adults…The prize was awarded at the dinner as well….We held a raffle for donated prizes such as photo albums, old pictures placed in photo plates, family reunion aprons and the grand prize of a family reunion quilt made by an aunt that had old family pictures on it. It was a beautiful piece of art!

The reunion was a huge success and I was so pleased to have played a role in it.

Our family reunion was held July 3 – 5, 2009 in Wabigoon, ON. We had 165 people attend for all over Canada and the United States!

I purchased the software because I was making a cookbook for our family reunion. I asked family members 4 months ahead of time to submit recipes to me to be entered into the cookbook. I had a wonderful response. We printed out one copy of the cookbook for display and for a door prize at the catered dinner we had on the Saturday night.

Our cookbook was over 100 pages and instead of printing out cookbooks for each person, we made CD’s instead to lower costs. I printed labels that had shown our grandparents wedding picture and then their 25th anniversary picture. On the CD, along with the cookbook, I also included all the old pictures that I had collected for the reunion. Everyone was very happy to have them in their own family history records.

Thank you!
