Old traditions don't die easy. A family tradition that has carried on for over 111 years in the same area was held again Friday night, December, 2, 2011, at the home of Charlie and Fern Roy. There were approximately 42 people in attendance including family and friends of several generations.

The future of the tradition looked bright as some of the younger generation showed off their talents, like solos by 8 year old Lindsey Jo Taylor and 2 year old Callee White's piano duets with her Nana, Lois White. A large family is a blessing from God. Add a little food, fun, and music and the blessings even greater.
