    1. [KYJOHNSON] Reunion in Johnson County
    2. Ann Lemaster- Applegate
    3. This pertains to a family reunion so if you are not interested, please delete now. Howdy everyone! Thought the majority of you would be interested in the family reunion I put together in Johnson County. We had it last weekend and oh what a beautiful day we had! Here is an account of the day. The second annual Adams reunion was held on June 24, 2000 at the Cold Springs United Baptist Church on Cantrell's Creek, in Johnson County, Ky. The reunion was for descendents and family of Thurman Adams and Esther Rigsby. There were fifty-seven of us there and we had a great day of fellowship, games and the best homecooked food you can imagine. The family member traveling the farthest was Brenda Adams Daniel,who came from South Carolina, the oldest was Lee Elliott Adams and the youngest was Vanessa Leann Applegate (my 3 year old). The door prize was claimed by Erica Tuttle. Thus year we featured a Texas Horse shoe Tournament. If you like horseshoes, you would LOVE Texas horseshoes. Trophies were given to the winning team which consisted of James Lee Adams and Brian Childers. The second place winners were Lee Adams and Carol Adams, which incidentally are usually unbeatable. We had food enough to feed an army, including my favorite, homemade chicken dumplings!!! James Adams said the blessing and then we all dug in. I haven't ate like that since last year's reunion! After the meal was finished, and the cleanup was behind us, we continues visiting with those we hadn't seen in a while, meeting cousins we had never seen before and playing pranks on those we see on a regular basis. My uncle Eulas Adams sang a few United Baptist hymns. Man, can he sing!!! It was decided that I (Ann Lemaster-Applegate) would remain the president and coordinator of the reunion and my first cousin James Adams would remain vice president and assistant coordinator. We went through alot of planning and organizing through the year but it sure was worth it all! I cant wait to start plans for next year's reunion which again will be held on the fourth Saturday of June. I am putting pictures of the reunion online and if anyone is interested, I will post the url here. Ann
