2023 Souhrada Family Reunion - # 39

August 4th – August 6th, 2023

Comfort Suites

Cedar Falls, Iowa

Hosts: Dave & Cherie Souhrada, Janel Stephens, & Barb Erickson


     


This year’s reunion activities kicked off with pizza and drinks Friday evening in the hotel conference room. A big thanks to Dave Rogers and Robin Souhrada for providing Friday night’s pizzas! The conference room was reserved for us the entire weekend which was very convenient and quickly became the hub of activities and a gathering place for all. The room was well stocked with refreshments, snacks, and kolaches!  Thanks to Tammy Willimack for preparing the very best kolaches. Each attendee was given a complimentary Souhrada reunion hat.

Saturday lunch was held a short distance away at “Barn Happy” restaurant. The restaurant was “transformed from a dairy barn built in 1925 and has become a business that works to preserve the agricultural heritage and values of the heartland in Cedar Falls, Iowa”.

The afternoon activities began with a presentation by Pete on an updated version of “How We Are All Related”. After the formal presentations, the auction of donated items was conducted by Dave Souhrada, Gary Willimack and Barb Erickson. (The auction proceeds help defer the costs of future reunions.) Afterwards, a delicious buffet dinner was served.

On Sunday morning many of the guests gathered for the buffet breakfast in the hotel dining area before heading back home.
