Saturday Morning To Afternoon
You will have all of Saturday morning and afternoon to explore Austin and rekindle relationships. The list of recommended activities can be found under the Things To Do In Austin section. A sign-up sheet will be provided for popular sites for ride sharing and companionship. Note that many attractions are within walking distance.
Saturday Evening Event
Location
The evening BBQ and family celebration will take place at the Zilker Park Clubhouse. This venue features one of the best views available of the Austin Skyline. While the Clubhouse is located only 2.5 miles from the reunion hotel, a map is required to find it if you are not familiar with the area.
Barbecue
Yes, and plenty of it…
A dinner of smoked meats and sides will be provided by Austin Barbecue Company – a catering business owned and operated by David Terrell. Be prepared to fight strong desires to relocate your family to Austin after experiencing brother David’s prepared feast!
Celebrating with Memories
During Saturday’s event we will take time to honor and remember beloved family members we have lost recently. If you have someone that you would like to speak for during this event you will have the opportunity to sign-up at the Friday Meet & Greet. Speaking time will be allocated accordingly. Please prepare your words in advance. Bring pictures!
We will take a group picture with the Austin Skyline in the background. We will also take generational pictures of each family for the members present (great grandchildren, grandchildren, children, siblings, parents, grandparents, great grandparents) organized by row. A link to download the pictures will be emailed after the reunion to everyone registered. Please make sure you are included on the list!
Music & Entertainment
Other than some fun activities designed to acquaint family members with each other we plan to have a sound system available that can play music from connected iPhones. Dancing is optional.
We are also looking into renting a Karaoke system. If you have a voice (or think you do) or want to form a group please indicate so on the registration form.
