This year's Reunion was a huge success! It was great having both sides of the family there. Over 100 in attendance! Thanks to everyone who took part in helping set up, clean up and organize. We really appreciate all who were there and we want to say a special thanks to Terry and Cozette for hosting again this year!

Wonnell Reunion History
The first Wonnell Reunion was held the 4th of July weekend in 1994 at Lake Malone near Greenville, KY. Dan & Kelly Weller hosted the reunion at their home on the lake. Everyone enjoyed a weekend of swimming, boating, fishing, 4-wheeling and fireworks.
The next Reunion was held in 1997 and continued each summer after that at Lake Malone. Everyone enjoyed gathering at the Weller's lake house or at the hotel pool.
In 2005, the pool was closed at the hotel, so the reunion was held at the home of Terry and Cozette Madding. Since 2005, the Reunion has been held at the Madding's.
The Reunion is held the 3rd weekend in July. Every year family members enjoy getting together to visit with those they may have not seen during the past year. There is always lots to do: races, games, swimming, fishing, boating and an auction on Saturday evening to raise funds for the next year's reunion.
