T-shirt order deadline extended...act now!

Billie Stone has announced that she is extending the deadline to order T-shirts for the reunion. Please email or call her this week if you will be wanting shirts for you or your family. Her contact info is below following the green depiction of the embroidered design.

JUST 5 WEEKS TO GO!

Hannah and Grace Johnson stylishly pose in their "Gibson Girl" outfits that were the rage in 1908!

Shannon Johnson, a new family member and recent bride of Simon Johnson also will be a style setter at this year's get together!

Chris Johnson spent some timeduring the cold winter researching the look and then created these reproductions on her trusty sewing machine. Well done, Chris!

In five short weeks we'll be packing those picnic baskets, donning our new T-shirts and heading to the Mason Grove on Mason Hill near Sterling Run for our 100th Reunion. Haven't ordered your t-shirts yet??? Scroll down and see picture of design with ordering info beneath it. One other inportant concern....we may find ourselves short in the tables and seating departments....if you have folding tables that you can stick in your trunk and lawn chairs, etc it maybe very helpful and needed. We are hoping for great weather and a great turnout!

Speaking of tables and chairs, Mike Johnson is making arrangements to borrow tables and needs help in the picking up and return them from an Emporium church. Please email Mike if you can help out with this at blackoak@windstream.net.

And we all will give a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Mike & Chris Johnson who have generously arranged for a very nice port-a-potty to be delievered to Mason Grove for our use during this year's reunion. This financial contribution plus the time both have worked on preparing for this year's festivities is greatly appreciated!

Ellen (Mason) Snyder has also made a generous contribution that has been used to complete the payment for the new floor, provide our square dance band and general operating funds for this year's shindig. The floor was expensive and drained our pockets dry! THANK YOU, MOM! Please dig deep and help us keep this thing going for another hundred years! It will if the young people today have fun and enjoy coming together in our special place. They will want their families to experience the Mason Reunion for decades to come!

Glenda Card will be setting up a display of historical information. She will be available to talk history and answer your questions, share her extensive knowledge of Cameron County and its inhabitants.

And don't forget our expanded schedule of activities will require you to arrive earlier and make a day of it! Horseshoe Tournament on new our new horseshoe pit -thank you Simon!- begins at 10 am. And the nature walk led by Mark takes off at 11 am and most certainly will be back in plenty of time for our 12 Noon meal!
