The seventh Thomas Reznicek/Antonie Pallas family reunion was held July 19-20 at the Lincolnville Community Center, Lincolnville. One hundred five family members attended the two-day reunion.

Weekend activities began Saturday morning at the Tallgrass Prairie National Preserve near Strong City. Twenty-two family members watched a short film, toured the historic house, barn, and outbuildings, then enjoyed a bus tour through the prairie. Some enjoyed a picnic lunch at the preserve while others ate at a local restaurant at Strong City.

After lunch, family members met at the Lincolnville Community Center for visiting, reminiscing, and looking at family photo albums.

A catered meal was served. Birthday cake was provided in celebration of the 88th birthdays in 2008 of Paul Reznicek and Irma Reznicek. A short business meeting followed the meal.

A potluck meal was enjoyed Sunday noon, followed by an afternoon of visiting.
