I had 48 family members from Seattle, Las Vegas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Missouri converge on Cadiz for a family reunion. I rented the pavilion at West Cadiz Park for one day. It was inexpensive and a wonderful place to gather. The playground kept the children occupied but within eyesight. Family members stayed at Lake Barkley lodge, cabins, and camp sights. We converged on the camp sights at night to sit around a fire and visit. Saturday morning many of us enjoyed the Farmer's Market. Groups met at local restaurants for some meals, Saturday we had fried chicken from Food Giant and Sunday we had Godfather's Pizzas. Friday night we all had a great time eating at Holiday Burgers on the floating dock. There was a spectacular sunset over the lake. A group went horseback riding and some toured a distillery. The Bison and wild turkeys made appearances on the drive through prairie. Everyone loved our small town and friendly people as well as the relatively inexpensive cost.

We reserved the Pavillion for my granddaughter's birthday. The area was very clean and well maintained. I had reserved it 2 months in advance and I received numerous emails to remind me that my reservation was coming up and if I had any questions or needed to cancel they were there to help. It was a very nice experience and will definitely use them again.
