In addition to our planned family activities, you will have access to other park amenities such as paddle boating, bike riding, walking trails, a 9-hole disc golf course, and a water sprinkler play area. You will also have access to Whirlin Waters Adventure Water Park, which is a special attraction located within Wannamaker Park. However, this adventure has its own admission price and you should feel free to visit their website at for general information and admission fees.Following a hardy lunch in the park, we will have our “Say in the Park” with informational sessions given by our very own, Freeman Farrow. Freeman has some important information to share with our adults and essential information for our youth as we focus on our theme of “Drawing from Our Past; Planting Seeds for the Future.”Thereafter, we will return to the hotel and experience an afternoon break before taking in an evening of family showcase and talent. A Showcase/Talent form is included in this packet with instructions to complete and submit it to Mary Jackson at the address printed on the form. You can also find this form on the website. We look forward to great participation and a fun-filled family evening.Saturday, July 18th – At the conclusion of breakfast, family will board buses for a historical tour of Charleston, South Carolina.

So, remember to include your beach gear in your travel plans. Our family banquet (the grand finale of the reunion) will be held on Saturday evening in the banquet room of the hotel. In keeping with our theme, we ask family members to wear their African attire for the family’s banquet.Sunday – July 19th, we will conclude our reunion in a jubilant fashion with an hour of worship that includes a farewell message from a guest speaker of the family –to be named at a later date.Feel free to share this information with other family members who are not on this email list.
