Lancaster County Pennsylvania was the site of the 2003 reunion. We stayed at the Ramada Inn in Lancaster across the street from Dutch Wonderland. Friday morning we boarded the bus that the St. Petersburg group arrived in for breakfast and a trip to Reading PA outlet shopping. We had breakfast at Lapp breakfast buffet. Reading was made richer by the 46 people on our bus. I saw a B&D cordless lawn mower that I had research for half the new price. Not wanted to put it on the bus, I knew that the outlet in Lancaster has a B&D store, so I bought it there.

Friday night we bus to New Holland PA, about 30 miles to a dinner buffet and return to Lancaster for the Living Water theatre presentation of Abraham and Sara.

Saturday we bus to Hershey PA. We visited the Hershey medical center, had breakfast at Friendly and toured the Hershey factory demonstration site and a trolley ride of Hershey Town, that included the factory, the founder home and birthplace, and the Hershey School.

We returned to the hotel for our banquet and business meeting. Closed to 50 family member was in attendance. Orlando FL was voted as the site for the 2005 reunion.

Sunday Morning we had our Prayer Breakfast complete with GRIT at our request the staff cooked grit following our instructions. Rev. Sikes, the minister of most of the St. Petersburg FL Cocomash families, was a guest that came on the bus with the Florida group. Rev Sikes gave a very inspiring and related message.
