Hundreds of Petrangelo descendants gathered to celebrate being together, many of us meeting each other for the first time. The weather cooperated and the rain held off. Kudos to the organizing committee for putting together such a well-planned event. What a joy it was to come together!

Family reunion update

Turns out we are a very enthusiastic bunch! While original plans for the gathering included an expectation of about 150 attendees, almost 250 plan to attend. So, our rented pavilion is not big enough for everybody.

To accommodate the overflow and if you live locally, please consider bringing the following:

  • A few camp chairs
  • A small folding table
  • An umbrella with a stand

Planning committee members will be bringing some of these items, too, and we are all crossing our fingers for no rain!

Family reunion Aug. 17, 2025

Buon Giorno!  Announcing the first ever Petrangelo Reunion, to be held Sunday, August 17, 2025 at 1 pm.  The reunion will be at Long Lake Regional Park, 1500 Old Highway 8, New Brighton, MN  55112.

We have reserved a pavilion that holds 150 people.  The park rules prohibit hard liquor, but this will be a BYOB so you can bring wine, beer or soft drinks. Marino’s Deli Catering will provide a meal of pasta, salad, and bread.  The cost is $10 per person payable in advance.

Our organization committee is working with someone from each clan to put together a descendant family tree for each clan and these will be displayed at the reunion. 

We look forward to this great event and meeting molto famiglia!
