The Reunion is held at the Center Community Center at the intersection of Grapevine Road and East Fork Road. The Center will be open by 10:00 a.m., for those who want to come early. We will plan to eat lunch about 1:00 p.m. Our Reunion is for everyone connected to the pioneer Sams families in Western North Carolina either by blood or marriage. We always have a good display of family photos and history. So bring your family photos, your geneology information, and a picnic lunch and join us. Be sure and pass the word to all your family members so they can plan to attend. Center Community Center is having an Ole Time Harvest Festival on Saturday, October 14, including making molasses and apple butter, and will have many crafts and exhibits that you may find interesting. So if you're coming here for the Reunion, and will be here for the weekend, make plans to attend the Ole Time Harvest Festival at the Center. Hope to see you then. Betty Clark
