2016 Pearson Family Reunion Date set

Well, the 2015 family reunion has come and gone. We all had a great time and are looking forward to next years which we plan to hold on Saturday, May 21st, 2015 at the location in Springfield, Ohio. The post below gives pictures and directions on where the location is at. Everyone mark the date on your calendar now so you won’t forget! We have to call after January 1st to make the reservation so we won’t know if the date is firm till then. I’ll post updates here and on our Facebook Group.

We plan for things to start around 4 pm. This will allow for things to cool off a bit and shade to move over the playground area and we should still finish early enough for those that want to get home before it gets dark.

The Kentucky part of the clan really hopes that more of you make it to this one as we look forward to catching up with everyone!
