Come one Come All To the Annual Hyde Reunion (Saturday, September 13,2014) at Tannehill State Park in Alabama.

It's time again for the Annual Hyde Reunion of William Christopher Hyde's relatives and friends.

Tannehill State Park is located off of the Bucksville Exit of Interstate 59 (Exit 100). There are signs that you can follow. Also, if you are coming from I-459 then it is the first exit at McCalla (Exit 1). You go past McAdory High School several miles and it is on the left. The road you are traveling is Eastern Valley Road. It has a big sign that says Tannehill State Park. Tannehill is located in three Counties, Jefferson, Bibb and Tuscaloosa Counties.

THE REUNION is at the Kiwanis Shed near the PLAYGROUND and by the museum. After you get to the entrance of the park you will turn right. Look for signs. The shed should also have a sign that says Hyde Reunion on it.
