The Robinson-Manning Reunion has occurred annually since 1884. Since 1984, it has been a two-day event scheduled on the third Sunday and preceding Saturday of August. This year is the 142nd reunion!
Saturday, August 15th at Day Pond State Park
The Saturday portion of the reunion will be held at Day Pond State Park. We have rented the pavilion for the day, and encourage everyone to bring a picnic for their immediate family and join us for shared desserts between 2 to 6. There are many picnic tables under the pavilion, but families may wish to bring a blanket for the grass as well as swim wear and towels (particularly for young children).
Email Nathan Tyler (2nd VP) with ideas or questions.
