Welcome to Hansford Family Reunion Chicago
Our Family Reunion will take place in Chicago, July 16 - 19th, with a weekend itinerary that include group activities, shared meals, and chances to experience the city together.
Welcome to Chicago
We warmly welcome our family and guests to Chicago, a city full of energy, history, and unforgettable experiences. From its iconic skyline to its rich cultural heritage, Chicago offers something special for everyone who visits.
Whether you’re exploring the beauty of the Chicago River, enjoying the excitement of the downtown lakefront, or discovering the unique neighborhoods that make this city vibrant, Chicago reminds us what truly matters; togetherness, discovery, and making memories that last.
During our time together, we’ll share laughs and celebrate at our Meet & Greet, enjoy fun and food at the Chicago Sports Museum, and relax with family during our picnic at Maggie Daley Park, complete with music, games, and joy for all ages.
As we gather in this incredible city, we create new traditions, strengthen our bonds, and honor the love that brings us together. May the spirit of Chicago and the company of family fill this reunion with connection, gratitude, and celebration.
Family Memorial Walk at the Reunion Banquet
As we come together for this year’s family reunion, we want to take a meaningful moment to honor those who live forever in our hearts.
During the family banquet, we will be hosting a Memorial Walk in remembrance of the family members we have lost but will never forget. This walk will be a time of reflection, love, and gratitude as we honor their lives, their legacy, and the impact they continue to have on our family.
We invite family members to bring photos of loved ones they wish to honor. Photos may be framed or unframed and may be carried during the walk or shared as part of the remembrance—whatever feels most meaningful to you. Following the walk, photos may be placed on a designated table for display, allowing family members time to reflect, remember, and share stories throughout the evening.
All family members are welcome to participate. Whether you choose to walk in quiet reflection, prayer, or simply in remembrance, this will be a special opportunity for us to come together as one family—connected by love across generations.
More details will be shared at the reunion, and we hope you will join us in making this a heartfelt and meaningful part of our time together.
With love,
The Reunion Planning Committee
