We have decided to postpone the Big Reunion until 2021. This is our reasoning:
- Reunions are times for crowds and hugs-just the kinds of behaviors that lead to viral transmission.
- Many of us are of an age that is more prone to serious or life threatening illness from the COVID-19 virus
- Even if the rate of infection is less and business is back to normal, it is unlikely that a vaccine or “cure” will be available at that time.
- We think that fewer people would come to enjoy the reunion this year because of the COVID-19 virus
Therefore the next Rousey Big Reunion in Kentucky will be July 16th-18th 2021. Please pass this information on to those who may not have internet access.
Plan now to join us for Rousey Family fun, activities and food in 2021
The Kentucky Rouseys

This year we will have a “Country Store” which will have donated items as well as reunion specialty items displayed and available for purchase. Proceeds from the store will be used for reunion operation expenses. We welcome the donation of family memorabilia, craft items, photos, artwork and any other items from family members. Folks who have items to donate should send a photo of the item if possible either to our facebook page or email to foxstv@windstream.net or watkins77@bellsouth.net by June 1st so that we can plan for the layout and pricing of the Store’s items. (We’ll accept items that weekend too if someone brings something, but we’d prefer to know ahead of time if we can!)
Please send your family updates to Patrick so that he can update the Family Book and try to make it available to everyone as a CD by the Reunion 2016. Patrick is not in good health so there is no guarantee but if you send the information, he will certainly try to compile it. Information should be sent to Sherry Rousey Anderson dsa0878@yahoo.com . Any information that you can provide will be appreciated. Just send whatever information you have available. The following is a suggestion for the kind of information that is needed.

Lloyd and Tina Rousey descendants reunion Saturday July 6th. There will be a noon pot luck meal.
Our annual spring clean-up at the cabin is Saturday, April 28th. We’ll prepare the cabin and grounds for an active spring and summer and cotinue planning for the BIG Reunion.
It was a cold day in March at the Old Homeplace. Twenty four people gathered to spruce up the cabin, the yard and the field. Participants ranged in age from 82 to 6 months. Picking up tree lilmbs, raking leaves,cleaning in the cabin and moving dirt kept everyone warm. Hot soup, hot dogs and other goodies including smores were shared at lunch. It was a very good day for work and sharing. Check out the people gallery page 3 &4 for a view of what was done.
