The whole gang at the reunion on August 3, 2013. We had a great time.  Hope we have a bigger crowd next year. We always have so much fun!!

Save the Date!

We are less than two months away from the 5th annual Allen-Shaffer Family Reunion. I always get excited this time of year - thinking about the fun of getting together with family.  The planning has begun - invitations will be sent out in early July.

Remember the date and plan ahead to attend!

We talked about themes for next year and although we didn't vote, I think all who were involved agreed that the Carnival theme would be fun.  This will bring back memories of the carnivals that John, Michael and Jim used to hold down at the Shaffer farm.

An idea for next year...

 Maybe next year we can have a cage match fight! 

The 4th Annual Allen-Shaffer Family Reunion was a success.  Everyone had a great time. It was fun to see what Hollywood themes we came up with. Kellie and her crew dressed as the Muppets.  Penny, Steve and Dylan depicted Gilligan's Island, James, Diane and girls were the Worst Chef and Dave and Missy represented Grimm.  It was very hot so we didn't get around to playing Wiffleball this year...it was better to sit in the shade looking at pictures, talking and laughing.

4th on the 4th

2 months till the 4th annual Allen-Shaffer Family reunion!  I enjoy all the planning and prep for the reunion and just love the day!  It is so great seeing everyone, playing games, eating the great food, catching up with the family.  I am hoping that we will have a great turnout this year...hopefully some people who haven't gotten to attend will get to come this year.

Plan now to join in on Saturday, August 4th!

Famous people...

I added another famous person associated with our home town area. Terry reminded me that Wilt Chamberlain used to live in Canton...or was it Troy? Anyway, there is a new link to read about him...
