Greetings, Dale and Two Egg followers: I hope your Cox reunion was enjoyable. Do you have any information on the Two Egg or the Parramore reunion to be held on the first weekend in October? I believe you mentioned it to me several months back.
Regards, Jen Parramore in St. Pete
Jen, Good to hear from you! Yes, the annual Oak Grove Homecoming is held on the first Sunday in October at Oak Grove Church in "downtown" Parramore.
This is a reunion held each year to memorialize the people of the old town of Parramore. It is the only time during the year, except for funerals, that the church is used. By the way, I'll be speaking at this year's event.
I also will be releasing a new book, "Old Parramore: The True History of a Florida Ghost Town" at this year's reunion.
Dale
