Pack up, give hugs and kisses to everyone and farewell! See you again in three years!
Tents, campers, trailers are encouraged. Lodging is available in Dayton if room service is more your style. Also in Dayton is a convenient grocery store, as well as other markets. Check out: http://www.historicdayton.com/ for more information on rooms. There is to be a new motel built on Main and suppose to be opened by the reunion.
For campers, porta-potties will be available. We are also working on outdoor showers for camper’s convenience as not to overuse the Fairchild main house. Anybody that has an outdoor shower to use for the weekend, let us know. So don’t forget to pack your towels!
Any questions, contact your reunion committee: Eric, Caren and Catie. fairchildfamily1140@gmail.com
