The Ollie and Mabel Cirks 3rd Family Reunion was held July 14-16 at the home place east of Minonk, now the home of Danny and Julie Cirks.  Over 60 family members from Indiana, North Carolina, Florida and Pennsylvania were in attendance.  The oldest family member was Donald Cirks and the youngest member was Wade Cirks' 8 day old son Jermy Cirks of Champaign.

The time was spent viewing the home place and memorabilia provided by family members.  Other time was spent swimming, playing games, recalling memories and story telling, and lots of good food and home made ice cream.  The next reunion will be held in three years in Tennessee.
