11 Days to Go: The Countdown to the Schuster Family Reunion Begins!

The countdown has officially begun - just 11 days until the Schuster family comes together for what’s sure to be another unforgettable reunion! Whether you’re packing your bags, planning a dish, or brushing up on your family trivia skills, excitement is building fast.

Here's what we're most looking forward to:

• Laughter echoing through the countryside

• T-shirts and hats that say “Team Schuster” or “Schuster Shenanigans” (you better wear it proudly!)

• Competitive (but loving) games of cornhole, trivia, and probably a three-legged race gone wrong

• The legendary Schuster Family Auction - where family heirlooms, handmade treasures, and wildly random items get fought over with intense enthusiasm (and questionable bidding strategies)

• Old stories, new memories, and probably a few “remember when…” tears

• Food. So much food.

There’s something special about gathering with the people who’ve known you since your awkward bowl cut days - or who still bring up the time Virginia won the sunflower spitting contest. From toddlers to great-grandparents, this is more than just a get-together - it’s a celebration of our roots, our chaos, and our love.

If you haven’t already, now’s the time to:

 RSVP (you can’t ghost your own family)

 Pack your essentials (and your sense of humor)

 Bring something fun or funky for the auction

 Dig up some old photos or family mementos

 Stretch - trust us, someone will challenge you to a dance-off or relay race

We can’t wait to hug your neck, meet new babies, and roast Uncle Dan for still not knowing how to use the group chat. Let’s make this reunion the best one yet!

See you in 11 days, Schusters! Let the shenanigans begin!

If you’re sticking around the area on Sunday, I’d love some extra hands for teardown—and in return, I’ll feed you! (But fair warning, not all volunteers can just be supervisors… we need actual workers!)
