Time: August 12 and 13 - 2011

How did we advertise?
When people arrived Friday night at the chapel they saw large posters.
Friday night we greeted, ate, heard two testimonies, and saw the following video:
Robert and Margaret from K on Vimeo.
Some enjoyed a Robert and Margaret Gardiner Coloring/Activity book:
Others learned about their ancestors by playing "Robert and Margaret Gardiner Guess Who?" using cards like these:
Cards used for the Guess Who Game:
Saturday morning some walked to Robert and Margaret's gravesite:
We did lots of neat Pioneer Activities:
We saw a video on the lives of Margaret's parents:
We ate chicken just like Robert and Margaret:
Then we saw Robert's actual candy molds and were shown how they work.
We
met relatives, played, ate, watched and for a few minutes we thought
about the rich heritage that is ours by being descendants of Robert and
Margaret Gardiner.
At the end of the day some were still energetic enough to hold a family history meeting and share next steps and photos.

With money left over from the reunion we helped purchase grave markers for three of Robert and Margaret's children in SLC Cemetery.
