Some more photos from the recent 2023 Harmon Pipes Gray family association annual reunion held on Sunday, August 13th.

Please note, we have decided via vote to make a change to our schedule. Future reunion events will now be held on the second Saturday in August to accommodate families with children in school and so parents can get back to their destinations with a travel day on Sunday. We hope this will allow for more to attend.

Also, Peggy Edgington is stepping down from her VP role which Mary Tudor has been elected to. Travis Pipes was elected as a member of the board of directors.

Information on the 2024 reunion will be posted once we know more.

Thanks and have a great rest of the summer!
