For those who went to the reunion...

Ive never been to a Waltons reunion but am making plans to attend next October.

Could someone who went give a synopsis of the reunion, start to finish?

Were Kami and Mary there for the whole time?

Also were Kami and Mary as friendly and accessible to fans as the photos suggest?

Thanks JBG

JBG, it started Friday night in one of the hotel suites. Both Kami and Mary were there and available for autographs and photos. We met in Schuyler, VA Saturday morning and saw the Church the Hamner's attended, toured the former Hamner house and then had lunch at the former hospotal where Earl was born. There was some free time to tour the rest of Schuyler. Later that evening was the dinner party. And yes both Kami and Mary were there from start to finish and available 100% of the time for photos and autographs. They stayed the entire time!!!!!!!!!! And yes they were EXTREMELY FRIENDLY and I can't emphasis that enough. It was an outstanding time. I've been to similar events where the celebrities didn't really want their photos taken and/or didn't want to sign autographs - the Walton Reunion events are just the opposite. I highly recomend attending so I'll see you next October 2009. Our Carolyn, Walton Fan Club President, does a GREAT job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big Bruno

Thank you so much for sharing that. I have seen your pics before and have read your post's about other reunions and it sounds like you all have such a good time. I am so hoping to attend next year and hope to meet you there..

Well said, Big Bruno!
Kami was a bit "under the weather" at times, so she didn't go to Schuyler with us. But if she'd been feeling better, I know she would have been there, too.
Audrey Hamner (Earl's sister) was also there for the whole thing, so again, a big YES there on how nice and approachable these people really are.
