CHERRY
REUNION
In 1892, James V. Cherry moved to the United States. There, he married Mary Colosi and had 11 children. Over the next several decades, the Cherry family continued to expand with nearly two dozen grandchildren, dozens of great-grandchildren, and many great-great-grandchildren. In 2024, we held our first reunion. Dozens gathered for quite a memorable weekend.
We had so much fun we are bringing it back. This time, we are also hoping to celebrate Mary Cherry’s (Uncle Skip’s wife) 100th birthday!
What to Expect
A Fun Family Weekend
While the Cherry family started in Pennsylvania, our family has expanded across the country and world. Some of you may have not seen your cousins in years. Others have never met their second cousins. The oldest family member is 99 years old, and the youngest are only a few months old.
Get ready to recount memories, eat, and meet the newest additions to our family. Don’t worry, we will also have activities for the children! If you’re going to be in DuBois the whole weekend, we will also have other events planned between Friday and Sunday.
Hotel
We recommend staying the Tannery Inn Suites. It is owned and operated by Cherry family members. It has free breakfast. Believe me, you’ll see plenty of Cherry family members hanging out there in the morning!
Planning the Event
There’s a committee that meets over Zoom leading up to the event. Let Rachel or Madeline know if you would like to participate. We’d love to hear ideas from everyone.
Contributions
This time around we are not asking for monetary contributions. Instead, we ask that you contribute by bringing food or buying supplies to be delivered straight to the event space. You can find the wishlist in the tabs above. We’ll be reaching out through email with more information leading up to the event.
