Stanton
Family Reunion
June 15, 16,
& 17, 2012 (Father’s Day Weekend)
Bennett
Spring State Park
Your
presence is requested at this year’s Stanton Family Reunion.
Sat. will be the main day of activities
featuring the traditional potluck (changed to lunch time this year), followed
by an auction to benefit the cemetery fund. Other ideas for fun in the sun
(it’s usually hot and humid) are:
· Fishing for
trout, canoeing and/or swimming in the park pool
· Visiting the
old home place, remembering loved ones at the cemetery
· Games for
young and old
· Singing old
songs led by those who sang specials during Sun. evening church
· Updating
genealogical charts, sharing old photos
· Shopping the
antique stores in Lebanon
· Hiking the
trails at Bennett Spring, sitting on the bridge watching people go by and
following the park workers who are feeding trout in the hatchery
Please

Cabin
Info: David Roper (Aunt Inez’s
husband) is organizing reservations and needs to know as soon as possible who
wants a cabin at Bennett Springs. If interested, we need to let David know and
then send him one night’s fee for a deposit. The second night’s payment will be
due when checking in on June 15th. The cabins require 2-night
reservations at $139/night. As Teresa says – a bit pricy but you get 2
bedrooms/full-size fold out couch and a full kitchen with pots, plates, coffee
pot, etc. One bedroom has a full-size bed and the other has two twins. To find
out more information, you can contact David Roper by phone at (417) 881-4405.
Camping is another option. Besides Bennett
Spring’s campground there are privately-owned campgrounds in the area. Last
year we saw what looked like a family reunion as they had several adjoining
campground spots and a common eating area. You can learn more about the State
Park at: http://www.bennettspringstatepark.com
