If you are inspired to host your own -style event, here is the blueprint drawn from 15 years of her experience.

“My mom always says, ‘Families are like fudge—mostly sweet with a few nuts.’ We have arguments. We have family members who don’t speak for eleven months of the year. But for this one weekend, we put it aside. Last year, my cousin Dave and I hadn’t spoken for five years over a tractor. He handed me a beer at the bonfire and just said, ‘This is stupid.’ We hugged. That’s the power of this place.” karla+nelson+family+reunion
