Blakney Family Reunion 2023

May 12th-14th. We can't wait to see you in Tampa!

From Your Hostess

Rhonda

Hello Family and greetings from your Tampa family reunion hostess. We have missed you and are excited to announce our plans for our 2023 Family Reunion!

WOW…it’s been awhile since we’ve seen each other! We're anxious to see you and hope that you are anxious to see everyone.

Unfortunately, the economy has not been good to us and we wanted so badly to keep prices the same but just couldn’t. That being said, we need to adjust our prices accordingly. I hope the price increase does not keep you from attending the reunion. However, if you are unable to attend we will be happy to accept a donation.

Listed at the bottom of this website you will find a short list of things to do at your leisure while you're in Tampa.

Me and the Tampa family look forward to seeing you!

By the way, if you haven't joined the Blakney Family Reunion Facebook group, what are you waiting for??!!
