The Floyd-Fortney Family Reunion will be hosting the 7th International Fortineux Family Reunion. This includes all our FLOYD, FORTNEY, FORTNA, FORDNEY, FURTNEY and other related cousins.

PLACE: Zillah, Washington, about 17 miles from Yakima, WA (where the airport is located). The reunion will be held in a park located approximately 1/8 of a mile off Highway # 82 at Exit 52. There are Motels, Fast Food Services, Grocery Stores, Gas Stations, and RV Dump Facilities in Zillah, and also in Toppenish just 3 miles from the Park.

COST: $35.00 per family.

MEALS: POTLUCK Friday & Saturday evenings. Lunch Saturday, barbecued hamburgers & hot dogs with potluck trimmings. Pancakes & eggs for breakfast Saturday & Sunday mornings.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS: tell the whole family about this Reunion. This is a chance to meet new family members and we do not want to miss a one of you. We certainly do want to see all of you at this International Reunion!! Don't forget to bring your pictures and family histories. Be sure to bring all current addresses and phone numbers for family members.

We are planning some great activities. Here are just a few ideas of what we would like to do. Bingo, Crafts, Auctions, Music, Mementos and possibly a tour.

There will be packets of information and maps to show Toppenish and the surrounding area. Toppenish is historically known for their building murals and the Indian Cultural Center. There is also the Legend Casino for those who would like to take a chance. There are a wide variety of Wineries available for touring and tasting. The area is also known for its many Fruit and Vegetable stands. There are trolly and covered wagon rides available throughout the Yakima Valley.
