Last year more than 5,000 Tribal members and their families descended upon Shawnee, Okla. for Family Reunion Festival. The event is a great time for old friends to reconnect and strangers to coincide. Food is one of the main components to a reunion and bringing family together in America. As always, CPN employees prepare every meal and snack for attendees from Friday night to lunch on Sunday.

Preparing and putting together the food for such a large group is no easy task, but thanks to a well-seasoned staff, the meals prepared will give you the energy to enjoy the weekend long activities and keep the kids from asking, “What’s for dinner?”

The food to eat and the picnic tables to eat at are on the tribal grounds next to the powwow arena. The first meal will be dinner on Friday night at 5:30 p.m. Saturday there will be breakfast at 7:30 a.m., lunch at 11.30 a.m. and dinner just before Grand Entry at 5:30 p.m. Sunday’s breakfast will be at 7:30 a.m. and the last meal will be lunch at 11:30 a.m.

FireLake Discount Foods will also be serving hot dogs, brats and smoked bologna from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Sunday they will serve hot dogs and brats from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  These items will be served from Pepsi and Coke Trailers just north of the round house on the Tribal grounds.
