Our tradition continues

Since 1989, our family has shared a beautiful tradition: every other year, we gather from all corners of the country to reunite, catch up, and celebrate our shared bonds. Each reunion is lovingly hosted by different family members, taking us to wonderful new destinations across the United States. Because we are spread so far apart geographically, these biennial gatherings are incredibly precious to us—giving us a dedicated time to pause our busy lives, reconnect face-to-face, and build lifelong memories together.

This year, we are thrilled to bring the tradition to Valparaiso, Indiana!

Valpo is the perfect backdrop for our reunion this summer. Known for its warm hospitality and vibrant charm, it offers something for absolutely everyone in the family. We’ll be right in the heart of the action during the historic Porter County Fair, giving us easy access to live concerts, grandstand events, and classic summer fun. Beyond the fair, Valparaiso boasts a beautiful, walkable downtown centered around Central Park Plaza, an incredible variety of local restaurants and cozy cafes, and great outdoor spots like Rogers-Lakewood Park and the nearby Indiana Dunes. It’s a wonderful, family-friendly community where we can relax, explore, and enjoy each other’s company!
