About 150 former and current Nanango residents gathered at Ringsfield House on Saturday to chat and swap memories.
The annual Nanango Reunion has been held for an incredible 63 years, although for most of this time former residents gathered together in Brisbane, often at New Farm Park.
Vicky Cross (nee Anderson), who has been organising the event since 2015, said in recent years it had been held in Nanango.
Vicky also sends out a newsletter to former residents, updating them about the latest happenings in the town.
Since 2016, the reunion has been held annually at Ringsfield (or at Nanango Showgrounds if raining) with the exception of 2021-22 due to the pandemic.
“The whole idea is for people to just get together and catch up,” Vicky said.
There was a lot of reminiscing happening on Saturday, with visitors looking through collections at the Nanango History Room (the old schoolhouse) and enjoying guided tours through the historic Ringsfield building.
