Everyone is working hard on plans for the Bernhardt Reunion this year. Details of all events will follow, but for those of you following the blog here is a sneak peak of some of the plans.
Saturday August 6th
We will be taking a tour of the NC Transportation Museum in Spencer. Many Bernhardt men worked on the RR so this will be a special treat for us. We'll see the Wagon Wheels to Wings Exhibit, Tour the Roundhouse and much more. Great fun for all ages.
Afterwards we'll have a great family dinner at Rick's Barbeque; you know about Bernhardts and Barbeque!
Sunday August 7th
Worship at St. Paul's is at 10:30 and it's always wonderful to see the whole family in attendance.
Covered dish dinner will begin at 12:30. We are in for a treat with the program focusing on Bernhardt family sites and scenes. There will be special activities for the kids!
Sunday Afternoon
After lunch you are all invited to the Bernhardt Family Homeplace. Sit on the porch and catch up with your cousins, walk through the rooms your ancestors spent time in, play a game of Corn Hole or Horse Shoes, or take a lazy walk down to the meadow. We might also finish off that dessert that was leftover.
I hope that whets your appetite, it's a full schedule, but remember it's all about family and it won't be the same if you aren't here!

It's Time to Start Thinking about the Reunion 2011
August is fast approaching and we need to get busy on our plans for the reunion. Hopefully we'll have a great crowd and get to renew family ties with those we seldom see. I hope that you are making plans to be with us at St. Paul's on Sunday, August 7th.
If you remember last year we assigned a different activity to different branches of the family. On Saturday afternoon there will be a family oriented event. On Sunday the luncheon and then a event aimed at learning more about the history of our family. We may even throw in an Friday evening event for the 20, 30 & 40 somethings.
Please send me the details about what your group is planning so that I can get the information out to everyone as soon as possible. Let's get this on our calendars and make it a great year for the Bernhardt Reunion.
