The annual Gillespie County Old Teamsters Reunion took place on Monday, Sept. 4. Many gathered to enjoy a meal, music, dancing and games at the American Legion Hall. The reunion recognizes the families and history that brought freight in and out of Gillespie County often through hardship and dangerous conditions.
