Edmonds Family 16th Annual Summer Gathering
Modeled after “down home” family reunions , the Edmonds Family Summer Fish Fry and Barbeque is an annual pilgrimage of diverse people coming together as family to enjoy good company and soul food. In the past years, as many as two hundred people of different races and religions and from all walks of life, have attended. The unscripted and relaxed event has helped create deeper understanding, stronger relationships, and lasting memories among family, friends, and strangers.
