A lot of Lovecs

Wrangling up nearly 100 Lovecs and getting them to stand still long enough to take a picture is no easy task, as evidenced in the photo at left.

The 2021 Emil and Eula Lovec Reunion took place July 1st through July 4th at Camp Needmore outside Ekalaka. Highlights of the reunion included live and silent auctions, a raffle, the family softball game, dancing, a cornhole tournament and a series of eight legged ski races. One ski race had to be re-ran after controversy at the finish line made it impossible for judge Sherry Farwell to determine a winner.

Family traveled from all over the country to attend, including some from as far away as Nevada and even Virginia. All of Emil and Eula's living children as well as all twenty-two grandchildren were in attendance. Nearly all of the next two generations were there too, as were a majority of spouses.

Meals for the weekend were catered by Wagon Wheel Café.

The Emil and Eula Lovec family traditionally plans family reunions every two or three years. The next has already been scheduled for July, 2024 at Camp Needmore.
