The children of James and Nanetta Bradley of Wilmington honored their parents with a celebration of their 80th birthdays at a pavilion at Caesar Creek Lake State Park on Sunday, June 25, 2017. Although their birthdays are in April and August, a date was picked in between to celebrate both at one time.

A cookout with all the trimmings made for a delightful lunch. Decorations consisted of balloons, signs and a memory jar that was filled with memories written on slips of paper that were read after lunch. Also, two birthday cakes were quickly disposed of after lunch. Fun was had by all.

Those in attendance from North Carolina were: Mike and Mary Damron of Hendersonville, Brad Damron of Asheville, and Alex and Brooke Brees of Holly Springs. In attendance from Ohio were: Joe and Ila Bradley of Oregonia, Jim and Meg Bradley and Lilly Wooden of Mason, Drew Bradley and Megan Lentz of Cincinnati, Chloe Bradley of Blue Ash, Mack and Amanda Brammer and their daughters Ely and Lydia of Xenia, and Rick and Jessica Walker and their sons Bryce, Jackson, Dylan, and Patrick of Clarksville.
