Article Provided By: Pat Nanney The annual Grahamtown Reunion was a bit different over Labor Day weekend with social distancing due to COVID-19, but crowds joined in the annual celebration held off Hardin Road in Forest City. Everybody received a free hot dog meal and other items from community groups and churches around the area. Lynetha Miller coordinated the annual event. "We served hundreds of citizens in the community," Miller said.
