Hi All,
The cousins on Omer Rainville's side of the family got together for their annual reunion, this year at The Country Pantry in Fairfax. Thirty-two were there and I would venture to say that there was probably more French spoken at The Country Pantry today than anytime in its history.

Most of the group remained to pose outside of the Country Pantry as Fernande & Theresa hold the Rainville Banner
