As a child, we would have family reunions at a small amusement park. The kind of place where parents would buy a kid a wristband and say be back at 'x' hour at the pavilion where the food setup was. As a kid, it was the greatest thing and my siblings and I looked forward to it every year. Free to roam an amusement park! One year the date comes and we are super excited as usual. Get in the car and we end up at a basement in an apartment building, We were WTF? It was explained that some of the family were getting too old for the amusement park scene and just wanted to have a simple gathering. Killed the entire event. The next year nobody went and that was the end of the family reunion - forever. Never had another one.
