We are going home to Schuylkill County, PA.

A Shimsky Family Reunion is being planned for the weekend of July 27-30, 2018, in the Minersville, PA area. We will be going home to where Peter and Mary Maliniak Shimsky settled their family, starting our families American Dream.
The weekend will include the 84th Annual Ukrainian Seminary Day at the Saint Nicholas Picnic Grove, Rt 901, Primrose(Minersville), PA from 11 am to 8 pm, on Sunday, July 29th, 2018.
There are still many details to work out. Nancy Gulbrandsen and Susan Ledford (SusanLedford13@gmail.com) will be the go to people with any questions, suggestions and ideas. There are so many of our Shimsky family that barely, or don't, know one another. Lets fix that and get as many family members as we can to this reunion. Let's get to know each other and have a ball in our family homeland.
This BLOG will be the main information resource, but Facebook Messaging may also be used. Please share this BLOG with as many family as you know. We need e-mail addresses and/or snail mail addresses and then a head count for all those that will be going. Yes, we have just under 10 months to plan, and the biggest challenge will be to find places to stay, so let's get this party started.

A video message from Susan...




One month from today, we will be joining together to celebrate family and heritage. 
I can not wait to see everyone, and meet those we have lost touch with.
Bring lawn chairs, if you can. I will have some extra. 
Bring closed shoes, if you decide to visit the Yuengling Brewery or the Pioneer Coal Mine Tunnel. Safety reasons requires closed shoes for their tours. 
If you wish, bring family photograph albums. 
I need a head count for Saturday evening dinner. If you have not done so, 
please text, call, leave a comment or email me as to how many will be joining us for dinner. 
Sunday is the 84th Annual Ukrainian Day at the 
St Nicholas Picnic Grove, Primrose, PA. (11AM-8PM)
If you have ANY questions or concerns, please contact me.
