The 2024 Pierre Chastain Family Association (PCFA) 49th Annual Family Reunion is on. It will be held in Lake Barkley State Resort Park, Cadiz, Kentucky |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Who |
All Chastains are invited to attend, along with other family members, friends, etc. (This includes different spellings of the name Chastain as well as different last names.) |
|
|
|
|
|
What |
The reunion is two days of socializing and discussing family connections through our common ancestors, related topics, and having fun. There is also a silent auction with very special items for sale, and there may be other activities yet to be determined. |
|
Note: The first reunion meeting is actually scheduled for Thursday evening, however, people usually arrive early and sign in Friday morning. That gives them time to meet others, socialize and connect. Many Chastain cousins like to arrive on Thursday evening and then check out to leave the resort on Sunday morning to head back home. |
|
Another Note: If you have attended previous reunions and you took your name tag lanyard home, please help save costs and BRING YOUR LANYARD!! |
|
We will provide a more comprehensive list and description of meetings. Visit often to keep up to date. For now, we will just show a list of the meetings tentatively being planned. (There are still a few details to be worked out.) |
