The Elliston family from Illinois will be hosting the 2025 CLSF Family Gathering in Mt. Vernon, IL June 26-29. We are excited to show you a bit about our hometown and our way of life. Mark is a full-time farmer, and we have incorporated it as our theme for this year. We have our classic traditions set in place, but we are hoping to throw in a few different opportunities for everyone as well. There will be “Granny’s Corner” where Ryan’s own Granny Cathy will read books for anyone can hangout and relax. We will have ample volunteers, both young and old. We have many activities planned including some for the Moms and Dads. We are also planning guest speakers who will discuss topics of interest for CLS families. If there is a topic you’d like to see addressed at the gathering, please reach out.
