The, 17th annual Terry Fax Run • Finkbeiner reunion planned for October 9 to 13 in Crediton by Linda Finkbeiner CREDiTON - The first international Finkbeiner meeting was held in Baiersbronn. Germany, June, 18. 1995. This year's reunion celebrates the. •Finkhciner's immigration to and settling of this area. The planning of this event has been in the works for almost two years. While the original idea for an international reunion came from relatives in the Michigan arca and culminated in the Baiersbronn meeting. this reunion was the idea of Reg Finkheincr. • • Crediton. He is locally known as the authority on Finkbeiner history, being able to trace our roots, back to the early 13(H)'s. . The:reaction to this reunion has been so very positive, with over 270 regis- ' tared to date and responses still coming. There are 37- people coming from Germany and others from as far away as Florida and British Columbia... When'the committee first began meet- ing ti► discuss the possibilities of such an event being held in this area, there were moments of indeci- sion and moments of great enthusiasm. At times I am sure that we all felt like that little train "We think we can". but thc•work ahead seemed overwhelming -at times. With great optimism we steamed ahead and sometimes wondered what we were doing. As late as June this year we still did not know if we were going to be able to put together a reunion. Registrations were slow coming and our committee was small. In spite of some concerns we continued on. Within a few weeks of that meeting all our fears proved groundless and registrations were pouring in. Every day 1 looked forward to the mail to sec where the next registration was coming from. Centralia Intemational Academy was rented to pro= vide accommodations and meals. Local businesses contributed to the reunion. offering door prizes and services. where needed. The committee members -worked tirelessly to put the five day event together. Now. with the reunion only four weeks away. 1 sometimes wonder why we were so worried. and sometimes wonder if we are really going to make it after all. -The reunion kicks off on the Thursday evening October 9 at the Academy with registration and a reception. This takes place in Huron Hall. There are many events planned over the weekend but the one of most interest takes place on the Saturday. The whole day will be spent in and around the village of Crediton. The day starts with registration and coffee at the Zion United Church. This will be our home for the day. Self -guided tours of the village. cemetery, and church will be held all day. Wallace Pfaff has organized bus tours (leaving the church about every hour) of the rural area. Sites along the way include many of the original settlements and farms of the early Finkbeiner pioneers. A film of Crediton's early years will be shown in the church basement on a reg- ular basis: Also two local gentlemen will be demon- . strating the art of making sauerkraut and sausage. A museum of pioneer.implements .will open and the Township Office will he open to visit. On display there will be a quilt made by the Crediton and District Women's .Institute. This quilt depicts the life and times of Stephen Township. The day in Crediton draws to a close at 3:30 p.m. with a service of cele- bration to be held in the church.
