Alaska Reunion July 2014

KAYHI Nifty Fifties held it's 8th reunion in Ketchikan over the 4th of July weekend in 2014. I flew up on July 1st and had a great time.  Our first event was a Reception & Cocktails at "The Fish Pirates Saloon". They served great Horsd'oeuvres and most used this as dinner!

I spent a lot of time out at Bob and Lynda Adams. John & Audrey and Laurie were staying with them and I was able to get a lot of visiting done. This is a picture from Bob and Lynda's back yard..

Dinner for a Bird

Our Picnic was held July 3rd.at the North Tongass Community Club at Refuge Cove. We started the day at Bob and Lynda's, were able to see one of the new grandchildren. I think her name was Ona.

We had rain all day so we never did get down to the beach. They do have a very nice building that gave everyone a dry place to eat and visit.

July 4th Parade

Reminds me so much of Tehachapi Parades.

July 5th  The Banquet

The Banquet was located at the Best Western Landing Hotel. This is where I was staying so all I had to do was go down and cross the driveway to the Sunny Point Room.

Sunday July 6th

Most all of the people from out of town left Ketchikan on Sunday. I was lucky to have one more day and to spend it with Margaret and Tore. Margaret and I  talked "quilting and quilts" then went downtown to check out the wonderful shop they have. I was very sorry to hear the shop is up for sale.  After a round of shopping we went back to Margaret's for a delicious dinner. Then it was back to the hotel to pack and head for home.  

Monday July 7th.  Up early to fill the rental car and take the ferry over to the airport.  I was surprised to see several of my reunion friends leaving on the same flight to Seattle.
