Every three years the Voguette Club of Parsons, Kansas sponsors a Homecoming reunion. This year's theme is That's What Friends Are For and events are scheduled July 2-6, 2014.
The Voguettes have hosted this event for over three decades during the week of the 4th of July. Former Parsonians young and old flock home from wherever they've settled to reconnect with family and friends.
I like to talk to the town elders who may have known my grandparents or great-grandparents. I try to sort out the who's who of cousins. I visit the cemeteries, the library and the county courthouse 10 miles away in Oswego. A day trip to Joplin to visit the library, more cemeteries and more cousins is always in the mix. This year I want to plan a day in Muskogee, OK.
The Voguette Homecoming offers a variety of events for all ages including a gospel jamboree, a weiner roast, talent show (all are welcome to show what they've got), a fashion show, teen and adult dances, a community church service and more. Many times other individuals will arrange golf or basketball tournaments or 5K runs for interested attendees.
