55th Annual Family Reunion

From Charles Peters:

Announcing
The descendants of William Christopher Peters, their spouses, children, and special friends will gather at Levi Jackson State Park, Shelter number two, Sunday, June 24, 2012, 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.to participate in our 55th annual family reunion. Levi Jackson State Park is located south of London. You can enter the park from either U.S. 25 South or from Hwy 229. Note that Shelter 2 is a change from last year and is on the right just down the street from last year’s location (if you enter the park from U.S. 25). Larger open area for our children to play.
Planned Activities
1. Family fellowship.
2. Potluck Lunch – You bring your favorite dishes (full of food of course) and the Peters’ family will enjoy it. For those of you who are traveling and cooking is not convenient, you can purchase something locally (KY Fried Chicken, Famous Recipe, Kroger and Wal-Mart Deli’s are nearby). Paper plates, cups, napkins, and eating utensils will be provided. We also have serving utensils so you won’t have to worry with this little detail. Bring a little extra potluck and let’s hope we set a high attendance record this year.
We plan to begin lunch promptly at 1:00 p.m. Plan to arrive as early as possible to permit time for the registration process, opening remarks, and food preparation to be completed prior to the 1:00 p.m. time for lunch.

Anita and I will arrive around 10:00 a.m. to begin setting up for the day’s activities, so you all come as early as you like and let’s get our fellowship started.
3. Annual horseshoe pitch tournament, coordinated by Barry Peters. Begins immediately after lunch. With the new shelter location, there is plenty room for other games such as: Corn Toss, basketball, etc.
4. Door prize drawing at approximately 4:00 P.M. Family members have been very thoughtful to bring door prizes and I’m sure you will again this year.
5. Auction – To help with reunion expenses, we look forward to your bringing a special item that would be good for the auction. Family handmade items are always good.
6. There is a playground play set and basketball goal at the shelter location. The park has a public swimming pool, Mountain Life Museum, McHargue Water Mill, putt putt golf (within walking distance), motor home camp sites, etc.
We will be using the shelter house for our event, so you may want to bring folding chairs for added seating space under the trees (if you want to sit under the trees). The park shelter house has seating available for approx 150. All of our planned activities will take place at the shelter house location which will allow you the convenience of socializing while watching or playing horseshoes, and also supervising your children while they play.
