Missing Folks:
It's just not a Rainford Reunion without cousins from the Groft, Bloom, LaBrie, Lenox, Klapperich, Fortin, Besse, Barrie and other related families. We are hoping to see the children of Bev and Ron Rainford , who came to every reunion and shared stories. We've heard from a few Rainfords who can't make it (Marty Rainford) but you're welcome to change your mind. We still have a few rooms at the resort site and plenty of RV space plus some people have booked nearby in the town. We can help, just contact us. Contact Us
DATE: Saturday, June 22, 2024 is the main day. Many pre- and post gatherings of cousins arriving Wednesday or Thursday, but this is the day everyone is together.

WHAT TO DO: Call your cousins! Talk to your families! This website and the Facebook Rainford Cousins page will have lots of updates and ideas for expanded travels, but now is the time to get everyone on board. The Reunion Committee has reserved the big meeting space and set up the day's events. Each family can book their own lodging.
HAPPENINGS: We're going to have t-shirts for the event! Cousin Dawn Bull Lundholm has volunteered to get them ready and we'll order and sell them here. Stay tuned!
We're going to have a cool auction of historic and family items!
ALSO: This website allows you to contact other cousins directly; you just click the name to send a message.
