Koosharem is a very small farming community with a population of about 250 people. Include 19 spouses and there is a total of 73 family members who attend each year. Each year a different family organizes the activities and meals. Everyone is asked to participate by preparing a game, activity or meal for everyone else. We often go fishing and hiking during the day.
Some people bring motorcycles and bicycles Others bring their boats and go water-skiing.
Each year we hold an auction to raise money for the next reunion. People sell homemade pies and clothing, crafts and other items. Recently, we have been gathering pictures and making a family history picture album. During the evenings, we all gather around the camp fire and tell stories, sing songs, and talk of old times. Since my husband's grandfather has passed away, most of the stories are of him and his adventures.
