DO NOT TURN ONTO ALT. 66 HERE, KEEP GOING DOWN THE HILL , ACROSS THE TRACKS, ACROSS THE BRIDGE TO THE LIGHT, AND MAKE A LEFT (YOU ARE NOW IN APOLLO) AND FOLLOW THE RIVER TO VANDERGRIFT.
Follow Route 66 north, along the river, until you come to another stop light, (it is approximately 2 miles)

If coming from Pittsburgh/Monroeville area...best way is from Route 22, to 286, to 380..toward Apollo. 380 exit to Apollo/Vandergrift will bring you onto Rt. 66.
Go north on 66 (to the right) and then follow the directions above.
If coming from Route 28, north of us...Ford City exit off of 28, follow 66 South toward Leechburg/Apollo.
Follow RT 66 south approx 9-10 miles, you will pass Garda's restaurant, a closed up water slide, Crooked Creek Market and Myrt's café, and you will see Alternate 66 turn to the left. We are 4 miles from the turn off.
Slow down just past a small business PC fix-computer repair...which is on the right, we are the next house that you can see from the road.
Office/Home is approximately 3 miles out Dime Road...you will see a red brick church on your left, start watching for a closed up gas station on your right. Our home/office is across from the station. Sign in front of house says CousinsCompany.Com.
It is a BIG gray house, parking area just past the house on front side for the office. The party will up on the hill past our barn, (yes, it is a very long, dirt driveway). The road up the hill is just before our house, so you can either make a very sharp turn up the hill, or drive just past the house, turn around in the lot across the road, and come back around and up the hill.
You don't need to have 4 wheel drive, but the road is rough...low sitting cars may bump bottom. Take the drive slowly and watch for the high spots. If you would prefer not to drive up the hill, you can park at the house, and call my cell. Someone will be glad to come down and pick you up.
ANY MORE INFO NEEDED, PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL 724-316-1944. If you get voicemail, please leave a number...it's going to be a busy week~

Sorry to hear it. You'll both be missed. See you tomorrow.
A very special thanks to Mumsies and Mr. Mumsies and the whole gang for their kindness and opening up their pastures to all of the Rennies that just can't stand being apart. A great time was had by all once again. These are the nights memories are made of.
A huge thank you to each and every one of you who made it out tonite....without you, there is no Renstock. I hope that you all had a good time, and I appreciate it that you took time out of busy lives to make it here. I hope that you all enjoyed yourselves. I tried to make time to say hello to everyone, and I hope I didn't miss you. The best part of this evening, is the time that all of you get, to spend time with the friends from faire, that you barely have time to say hello to, much less get to know them. I hope that the time spent brings us all closer together, and I hope we can find more time to get together.
A special thanks to Terry, who makes the gathering so much sweeter! and to our new faces....Ar Eigean Gail (I will eventually remember how to say it)...Paul, Sue, Matt and Karl....it was nice to meet you, and I hope that you will be back again. Without the songs, it wouldn't quite be the same.
For those of you who couldn't make it because that dang real life interfered...we missed you...and we look forward to the next time, when we can be together.
For those who didn't make the time to be here...you just don't know what you are missing! A good time was had by all.....
Hugs to all of you...thank you again, from the bottom of my heart! Mumsies
It was lovely! I had a really wonderful time. Thank you so much for giving us that wonderful evening.
Mumsies, you are the best. Thanks!!!!!
