The Felder Reunion was held in Winnsboro, LA. Many family members were in attendance. As always, the Louisiana heat was strong but that would not stop the family from eating and having a good time.
Fish fry was Friday evening...hot fish and potato salad are always a hit. Saturday was the family bar b que with chicken, sausage, pork steaks, spaghetti and cheese, dirty rice, beans, cornbread dressing, shrimp,okra and sausage, hot tamales, tomato/cucumber salad, coconut cake and banana pudding.
Some family members went fishing. Etoya let me drive the 5 speed Porche convertible (it's been 30 years since I drove a standard). The cousins got together at a hotel meeting room and played games. We had lots of fun competing to win. We had refreshements compliments of Joslyn and Gerri. Afterwards, some went to the movies.
Thanks to all the family members that participated this year. For those that could not make it, we hope to see you next year. We will let you know as soon as possible about the location.
Once again, the charge has been given to the grandchildren (1st cousins) to be responsible for planning and facilitating the reunion. Come on cousins, let's step up to the plate and keep this reunion going. You don't have to plan it alone, we can all work together. If you are the host, reach out to the cousins and let us know what you need help with. We have many family members that don't know each other, this reunion is a way to keep the family in touch. I will keep this website going, let me know if you have something you would like for me to share.
Love ya!

The The 2016 Felder Family Reunion in Moreno Valley, CA was enjoyed by all that attended. There is a large number of family members located in California. It was truly a pleasure to see old and new faces.
We kicked things off on Friday evening with the Meet and Greet Fish Fry. Fried Fish, shrimp, and wings were fried to perfection by Uncle Jesse and cousin Willie (Billy). We even had a skillet corn cook off between my mom (Willia Rhea) and Aunt Margie. Both dishes though prepared slightly different were DELICIOUS!!!!
We met on Saturday afternoon for the Reunion Picnic at Lake Perris State Recreation Area. It was a beautiful shaded area with a picturesque view (Mountains and Water). You know the Felder Reunion will never be short on food! The menu included bar b qued ribs, chicken, sausage links, green beans, mustard greens, baked beans, roasted corn on the cob, salad, coleslaw, peach cobbler, cake, watermelon and plenty of cold drinks.
