History
Reunions of the past were held as a way of welcoming back sons and daughters who moved away from Ripley and Huron Township, many of whom moved west. Traditionally held every 10 years, the Ripley-Huron Reunion took a break during World War II but then joined with many other communities in Bruce County celebrating the County’s centennial in 1948.
It must have been quite the time, as a few short years later in 1952 the community organized a “Lewis Centennial,” reuniting the descendants of the 109 families who settled in this area from Lewis Isle, Scotland in 1852. The next reunion was held in 1975, and since that time folks have gathered every 10 years on the first weekend in August to make memories enough to last the next 10 years.
Parades, dinners, dances, sporting fun, contests and good times with old friends are the hallmarks of a reunion in Ripley.
The Reunion Committee is looking forward to organizing these events and more in 2025 and welcoming everyone back to the Ground We Grew Up On.
Relive the Memories, Reconnect with Friends
Ripley has a rich culture and history of sports, agriculture, arts and small-town living that will be celebrated and displayed throughout the weekend.
The Ripley Reunion provides a unique opportunity to interact and connect with past, present and potential residents of Huron-Kinloss. It’s a time for attendees to remember, revisit and celebrate all of their favourite things about the area. It presents an opportunity to showcase the changes that have occurred over the last 10 years and highlight the opportunities that those changes present moving forward.
Any profits raised from this volunteer-run event will be invested right back into our community.
