Planning Your Trip!

Many of our Blanchette Family Reunion 2014 attendees will be coming from outside of the St. John River Valley area.  Whether you'll be returning to your hometown, you've visited the area before, or you've never been, fear not!  We have some information that will help you to plan your stay, starting with lodging.

The CMA reports that as of January 2014, lodging in the entire area is about 60% available during the time of the event, from August 8-24.  There are many hotels, motels, campgrounds, inns, cottages, and private rentals available.
