The Brown Family Reunion will be here before we know it.  We are hoping to see a lot of you there.  We have heard from some of you but we would love to hear from a lot more if possible.  If you haven't let us know yet, please do so as soon as possible.

We reserved the campground so we will need those who come to enjoy the beautiful group campground and facilities to pay also even if you don't spend the night  to help cover the cost.

Facilities:       $15.00 
Food: $20.00 12 and over
$10.00 under 12
2 and under free

So, for example Darrel's family of 2 adults and 4 kids (11, 9, 4, and 5 months) would cost $15 for facilities and $60 for food (2 adults at $20 + 2 kids at $10).  To simplify things we decided to not break the prices down per-day or per-meal.  The good news is that if you come for the whole time you get a great deal!

We want to see everyone there so let us know if the price is too high for your family.  It's way more important that we see you there.

Check in time is 3:00 p.m. on Friday.  Check out time is 2:00 p.m. on Sunday.  We will have dinner Friday; breakfast, lunch and dinner Saturday; cold cereal breakfast and lunch fixings on Sunday.

For those who would like to attend Sacrament meeting, Harvey's church is not too far and there is a church close to the campground.  The meeting times are 9:00 a.m., 11:00, a.m. and 1:00 p.m.  Harvey's Sacrament meeting begins at 11:00 a.m.

As you know, our theme is "Brown's Got Talent".  We know that there is so much talent in the Brown family.  We want to get to know you better by learning what your talents are in different areas.  We have planned activities for you to demonstrate your talents.

Friday night is movie night.  If you have a DVD of talent from your family, please bring it to share.  If we get several, we may have to vote on which ones to watch.

Saturday we will have a table for things that people have made that they can display like pictures, quilts, sewing items, sculptures, pottery, etc.  If you can't bring them, you can bring a picture of them.

Saturday night you get to show everyone your Dutch Oven cooking talent!  We are having a DUTCH OVEN COOK OFF!  If you would like to participate, please let us know what you would like to cook so we can plan other things to go with the meal.  Please bring the ingredients and everything you need for your own dish.  There is a grocery store in Hyrum if you need to purchase any fresh ingredients.  If you need a dutch oven or charcoal briquettes, let us know.  There will be a prize for the winner.

After the meal Saturday, we will have the talent show.  There is a place with benches and electricity at the campground which will be perfect for performing talent.  For the talent show, we would like each "Brown brother family" to present about 15 minutes of performance time.  It will be a bit of a fun variety show of sorts - so have fun with it!

There will be an art yard set up for anyone to practice and show your creativity talent.  If you have anything you think people could create with, please bring it.  Some things might be washable paints, different kinds of paper, markers, any art supplies, or any beautiful junk that you think people would like to create with.

Other activities available are: volleyball, horseshoes, swimming, boating (if someone brings a boat), and just visiting and enjoying each other's company.  There are rentals for jet skis and other items.

We will send information later on how to get to the Hyrum dam group campsite.
