“Being a family means you are a part of something very wonderful. It means you will love and be loved for the rest of your life.” – Lisa Weed

We are extremely excited to invite you back to the beautiful countryside for another Williams Family Gathering. COVID has kept us apart for four long years, and now we're back.

If you have never visited the Williams Family Farm, then you're in for a treat.  Rolling hills of luscious green grass and fresh clean air, and no matter how warm it may get, know that warm rays of love will be shining over our family.  

THINGS TO KNOW

• Our best advice is to dress comfortably, stay hydrated and be prepared to love, laugh and catch up since we last met.
• The Super Walmart in Thomasville will be your best option for your shopping needs.
• Inform your kids that there's no wifi.
• Registration discounts are not available.

LODGING

The Holiday Inn Express Thomasville (HIET) is the official hotel for the Williams Gathering, but of course, you're more than welcome to find lodging on your own. The hotel is located at 30040 Highway 43 Thomasville, AL at a rate of $167 a night.

A block of 10 rooms (5 singles and 5 doubles) have been reserved under Travis Long's name. If you're planning to stay at the HIET, request a room from my block and reserve it in your name along with your credit card. Any rooms not claimed by July 5th will be released back to the hotel.

Camping on the property is available to those with a RV. Our only request is that you do not dump your waste and that clean up before you leave. 

TRAVEL

Thinking about flying to Alabama? If so, here's a list of airport(s) close to Linden.

• Birmingham Airport (BHM)
• Montgomery Regional Airport (MGM)
• Atlanta Hartfield-Jackson Airport (ATL)
• Jackson-Medger Wiley Evers International Airport (JAN)

ATTIRE

On Friday, wear what you like, but if you have a shirt from previous gatherings, throw it on. Just make sure you're comfortable. On Saturday we'll be in our official shirts with khaki shorts.  

WANT TO CELEBRATE SOMEONE OR SOME THING?

The planning committee is looking for new ways to enhance our family program. If you have someone or something you'd like to recognize, drop a line to Travis or Jermaine and let talk about how we can incorporate it into our planning.

GAMES & ACTIVITIES

We're planning a lot of fun and games and this list is subject to change:

• LCR (Left, Center Right) - A fan favorite that was a big hit last year so we're bringing it back. You'll need three dollars to play. Need change? We'll have a kitty available.
• Turd in the Toilet
• Hay Ride
• Spades Tournament
• More to come...
