On Saturday, May 23, 2026, our family patriarch, Duane L. Watt, will be celebrating his 90th year at Pymatuning State Park, Espyville Pavilion #13 (upper left of the map; the red dot marks DLW’s home). His 89th birthday falls earlier in the month, and we would love for you to join us in honoring him.
Please feel free to come and go as your schedule allows between 1:00 PM and 8:30 PM. (The park closes at sunset.) Duane plans to be at the pavilion for the entire celebration, and we’re happy to welcome guests throughout the day.
His children will provide burgers, hot dogs, water, coffee, tea, and cake for all guests. (No alcoholic beverages are permitted in the park.) We kindly ask that you bring a covered dish for yourself or your group, plus extra to share. Please sign up below.
During your visit, we invite you to join us in singing “Happy Birthday” with group singing planned at 1:30 PM, 4:00 PM, and 6:30 PM. We understand that many guests may stay for just a couple of hours, and that’s perfectly fine.
Please, no gifts. Your presence is the only gift Duane wishes to receive. Spending time together is what matters most to him.
