Hello family and welcome to 2019.

Paul E Rolan here.

As the Rolan Reunion president (don’t remember who tasked me with that title) I have some sad and disturbing news to share. This May 19th will be the last reunion held at the campgrounds. The Rolan Reunion is a historical event since 1949. It has been held at the campgrounds since 1950 and will be remembered for lifetimes.

The reason for this is Alcoa (really the electric plant) forced us to sell the property. Yes this may be close to illegal but the county/city has always sided with this big business. We could spend $100k on lawyer fees and still lose the case. BOTTOM LINE: We no longer own the property and have been granted one last reunion at the place the Rolan clan’s roots will always be.

Let’s make this last campground Rolan Reunion one to be remembered. Bring stories, history, memorabilia, and kids. Tell the kids your campground story of good times and the hard times. It was so hot. It was so dirty. It was so wet. It was so much food. It was so great….. You get the idea.

Future Reunion locations:
We are collecting future site ideas for the 2020 Rolan Reunion. The plan is to pick a location close to Rockdale, Thorndale, Taylor, Lexington, etc. These ideas need to have details like: location, cost, and venue contact info. All options will be explored so help us out with your ideas.

Please forward this news to everyone since not all are on social media and have an email account.
