The 2011 Gailey Family Reunion was held on Saturday May 7, 2011. We had just over 100 in attendance, which is a new record for the Gailey family. The event was located at the New York Hill Restaurant in Thurber, Texas followed by a trip to the beautifully restored J.W. Gailey home south of town. We will be posting photos, videos, and other information about the reunion.
