“The Odd Years” Kussee Family Reunion July 2013
Inter-mountain Power Plant 10 miles north of Delta, Utah

Bringing out the inner chef while getting to know the family better.  We will have about 14 families.

A representative of each family will prepare and clean up each meal.  (Randomly selected at the reunion).  For example one child from each of the families will get together and prepare, serve and clean up.  This means they are in charge and can ask assistance from their spouse or other people from their family.   This will be a fun opportunity for everyone to get reacquainted.

The meals will be kind of....Pot luck with a theme, be creative and bring your families favorites to share.  The group that will be preparing the food will make the main part of the meal together and then the condiments, toppings or other things that will make the meal crazy good.

Eating utensils, plates, cups and napkins will be provided.  I will bring ketchup, mustard and mayonnaise and salad dressing..  Bring other condiments that you would like.

Friday evening 5th July.......6 pm BBQ

        Bring enough meat of your choice for your family (buns if needed)
                ● Steaks
                ● Dogs
                ● Fish
                ● Hamburger
                ● and etc
        Toppings.....here is a good place to go crazy(ie for hamburger–ding dang hot sauce or what            ever your heart desired).  I will bring tomatoes, lettuce, dill pickles and onions.

        Side dish to share.................Can be an intensely insane dish that might be hard to pronounce          but easy to eat.

        Enough chips of your choice to feed your family and be shared .

           Dessert.......Ice Cream Floats “zippy ones” be imaginative, enough ice cream and your                       favorite sodas to float your boats.  If everyone brings enough for their family then we can all             have a large variety to choose from.  Just put the ice cream in a paper bag rolled down tight               and in a cooler to get it to the reunion.  There are two huge freezers on the reunion site.

Saturday Morning 6th July.......8:30am French Toast

          Bring the funkiest bread-----like cinnamon rolls, banana bread, cinnamon bread, regular,                   wheat, that makes your family purr!!!! Please bring the most stupendous toppings, the world

Saturday Night 6th July..........6pm Baked Potato Bar

Sunday Morning 7th July...............9am Scrambled eggs + Biscuits and Sausage Gravy

          Bring one package of Jimmy Deans Sausage Regular, not Hot  (1 package serves 8 people) the             sausage will be in the gravy.
          FROZEN Pillsbury Biscuits that are in a plastic bag are the BEST.  The “original”  kind is                    better than “southern”style. Bring enough for your family.

          1 cube of butter (no margarine please)                           1 gallon of milk and 1 cup of flour

          More fruit to share.

EVERY FAMILY PLEASE BRING 1 DOZEN EGGS — THIS SHOULD COVER THE FRENCH TOAST AND SCRAMBLED EGGS.



Remember - there are no beds... We will be sleeping on the floor (unless you bring an air mattress or cot). The main area (one big room) has carpet. There are several smaller rooms (basketball courts, racket ball courts, etc) if you want some privacy - but these rooms are not carpeted. There is lots of grass outside if you would like to camp, and parking hookups for RV’s. Remember Delta can be hot in July, but the building is air conditioned..

For toddlers - we might build a corral of tables - to give them lots of room to play.

See ya’ll ya’ll there.  Love you guys, Grandma xoxoxo

The entrance to Inter-mountain Power Plant Recreation Center

The 2013 ODD Years reunion for the Kussee families will be held on July 5th and 6th with checkout on the 7th of July in time for you to get home. The location has moved to the "Inter-mountain Power Plant" recreation center located just east of Delta in the center of Utah.

Part of kitchen area

The recreation center is a very large, air-conditioned building that includes a commercial kitchen, two walk-in freezers, two commercial refrigerators, about 15 feet of grill space and several large cooking pots.

Part of kitchen area

The building was part of the construction facilities when the Inter-mountain Power Plant was build about 10 years ago by Los Angeles City. They had to import about 500 construction workers - house and feed them for several years and used this building to feed and provide recreation for the workers. The dormitories have been torn down, but the recreation building remains for use by the town and large groups to use. -- Aren't we lucky ???

Part of eating area

 The eating area is carpeted and has 4 person tables and chairs. Up to 300 people can sit in this area. There is also a do-it-yourself "snack kitchen" available for us.

Pool tables & ping pong tables

The building includes seven pool tables, and two pong-pong tables.

The large indoor basketball court is currently rigged with two volleyball nets side-by-side.


There are two indoor racquetball courts.
