We are excited about our family reunion. It’s been a very long time since we’ve seen everyone. We will be meeting Thursday, July 24, 2008 through Sunday, July 27, 2008 at Steve and Joan’s family property. We would love to meet your spouses, kids, grandkids, and get reacquainted with you. Please bring a genealogy family group sheet (included) for your family. Please make 4 copies, one for you and one for each family group.
We would like to have a nice big meal Friday night and a traditional Cahoon sourdough pancake breakfast Saturday morning. We would like each family group to bring a meal (along with paper products and utensils) for Friday night big enough for their own family. We will put everyone’s together and make a buffet. Your meal should include a main dish, side dish and dessert. Each family will be assigned part of the breakfast to bring for everyone. Contact your family group representative to make further arrangements for the meals.
After breakfast on Saturday morning, we are going to have an auction to help pay for the next family reunion. You don’t need to buy anything. Bring used items that you are willing to donate towards this event. The money raised will be put into a bank account under the Cahoon family name. Suggested items could be homemade items, nonperishable food, toys, family heirlooms, camping supplies, books or clothes. These are just ideas, you can bring anything that you feel others might want or need.
We are hoping to have a fun campfire round up Friday night. Please come with family memories of spending time with Grandma and Grandpa. These memories could be about something you did together or time you spent at their home. We also want to learn more about each of you. What is your family story. How did you met your spouse and fun things about your children or grandchildren and future plans.
Directions
Steve and Joan’s family property is located in Fairview, Utah at the Skyline Mountain Resort. Fairview is located off Highway 89 in Sanpete County. The best way to find it would be to go to http://www.mapquest.com/. You can type in your address as your starting point and Fairview, Utah as your destination. It will give you step by step directions.
Once in Fairview, the main road is State Street. At the south end of town, the last street that turns east is 3rd South or Mountainville Highway. Turn east on Mountainville Highway and follow to about 650 East were the road naturally turns south. That is the dark green line on the map below. Follow the road to the big sign that reads, Skyline Mountain Resort. When you turn into the Resort, take the road to your left over the bridge. Follow that road past the swimming pool. You need to go straight towards the gates. Don’t turn right, it’s a dead end at the pavilion. We have to open the gates for you. I will go down every hour on Friday to let you in. You can also follow any other cars in. Just stay with in a few feet of the car in front of you. The gates have sensors and as long it senses something there, it won’t close. We tried to get a temporary code that you could type in or have them leave the gates open that weekend but that wasn’t a possibility. I hope that this isn’t too much of a hassle.
Steve and Joan’s property is exactly 3.5 miles from the gate. Once inside the gate, follow the paved road up to the dirt road. The dirt road is Birch Creek Rd. Stay on Birch Creek Rd. You’ll run in to an area called Legacy. Continue to follow Birch Creek. You’ll know you are close when you see a dead end sign. Keep going straight up a hill past the dead end sign. The turnoff into the property is at the end of the cement barriers on the side of the road. Turn at the sign “Ames Acres” and follow the road to the open common area. I will also place signs on the road point the direction to go.
If you have any questions, feel free to call. Steve and Joan (801) 254-0285 or Kim (801) 966-8823.
We look forward to seeing you there.
