Jim’s last requests were to spread his ashes on the cow pastures of Butler County, but perhaps more importantly, he wanted to gather friends and family and “throw one big party” in Kansas. It was his wish to bring what he loved most together: family and farmland.

To honor those requests, please join us August 1-4, 2024 for a gathering of family and friends and remembrance in honor of the late James McCaffree.
We welcome friends and relatives from Kansas, Colorado, California, Washington and beyond.

Saturday, August 3rd at the Stone Hill Barn in Augusta, Kansas.
(9333 SW Haverhill Rd, Augusta)
The party starts at 2pm, dinner will be served at 5:30, party goes until late.
They’ll be plenty of food and drinks throught the event.
Dress code is casual.

We have reserved a block of rooms at the Flint Oak lodge in Fall River, Kansas. These rooms are first come, first served. Adjoining rooms for families are available, as are outdoor activities such as fishing, hiking, sport shooting, and swimming. The estate of James McCaffree will cover the cost of all rooms at Flint Oak from Thursday through Sunday, Aug 1-4.
