Bundy Reunion
Reunion Events
Ever wonder why these people make such a long trek down a dusty road to spend a few days in the desert? It's because there's a lot to do. If you don't make the journey, these are the events you're missing out on:
​
THURSDAY
You can find all the early birds setting up camp on Thursday night in preparation for the weekend festivities. Sometimes it's a movie night at the slab, other times it's a night of Reminiscing with relatives.
Reminiscing
- 8:00 p.m.
FRIDAY
We begin each year by honoring our country, posting the colors and giving a warm welcome to relatives and visitors who've made the trip. For more information about how the family is organized HERE
We kick off the weekend with a roping contest starting with the children and ending with the adults. This is where they show off their roping skills that they have used throughout the year, or 2 minutes before the contest.
For boys and girls ages 11 and younger. This gets them experienced for when they are old enough to participate in the Skeet Shoot!
If you like pitching "shoes" then come sign up. You don't have to know what you're doing....we have experts that are there to teach you how it's done.
You might even walk away with the coveted "Golden Shoes".
Come share your talents with the family. But if you are going to perform make sure you can say your geneology...."my name is"...and "I'm a daughter of"....."who is the daughter of".....

The family beef recipe handed down for generations makes this the family feast of the year. It's slow-cooked in a pit for 12 hours wrapped in burlap. It's no wonder there's a fight to get the last juicy piece. For more details about who is bringing what, see the INVITATION.

SUNDAY
Each year the family discusses the family history work that has been completed, along with interesting information about our family line.
Our ancestors left their home in Illinois because they met two missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and felt a desire to incorporate the gospel more into their lives by heading west. Testimony meeting is a time for all of their descendants to share how their lives have also been shaped by the gospel and for many to report their own missionary service.

Retiring the colors and closing the activities for another year. This includes a prayer to our Heavenly Father for the safety of everyone who travels on dirty, dusty roads back home.
There is nothing quite like a watermelon bust at the Bundy Reunion. We consume a whole pick-up load of melons on a hot afternoon after a feast of the "Spirit." Please help us maintain the special spirit by not provoking your cousins by spitting seeds in their faces.
