The National Allison Family Reunion is an annual event produced by the 700 members of the National Allison-Allanson Family Association. The guest of honor and speaker for 2007 is Her Majesty's Deputy Consul General Helen Arbon, a distinguished British diplomat formally representing the Allison ancestral homeland. 2007 kicks off a year long celebration of heritage with heavy emphasis on education, leading up to the 2008 National Allison Family Reunion marking the 350th anniversary of the family's departure from London and arrival in America in 1658. New for 2007 will be a special historical exhibit entitled "One Family - Five Centuries." The 100 foot long walk-by heritage exhibit flows through time from the year 1500 to the present moment, chronologically interpreting 500 years in the life of a single family as it evolves from the civility of life in London's powerful merchant class, to life in colonial Maryland, and on to life as a culturally and racially diverse American pioneer family established in the backwoods of the Blue Ridge and Smokey Mountains of western North Carolina, as well as other areas of the country. An exciting line-up of specially selected heritage entertainment will also take the Allisons through time, beginning with classic British selections performed by the Pyramid Brass Quintet. Talented Atlanta vocalist Allison Melton will also perform several traditional British selections, including "God Save the Queen" and "The White Cliffs of Dover." American heritage entertainment will be presented by a host of bands and entertainers, including the Celestial Mountain String Band, the McDowell Family Band, Tugalo Holler, the Melodyaires, and former world champion Indian hoop dancer Eddie Swimmer of Cherokee. Festivities kick off with a welcome party at the Elk's Club on Friday, October 19. Friday evening includes dinner, dancing, and a family history swap-shop area in an adjoining area. The event packed weekend continues all day on Saturday on campus at Brevard College, opening early that morning at 8:00 am for viewing the special heritage exhibit. The annual reunion program and banquet follows at 10:00 am. The traditional reunion memorial service will immediately follow the noon luncheon banquet, with Her Majesty's Deputy Consul General Arbon presenting the 2007 memorial wreath in tribute to the Allisons British ancestors. The beautiful English "Allison rose" will make up the memorial wreath. The daytime festivities at Brevard College also include the annual reunion auction with many original pieces, including quilts, original art, and beautifully framed original photographs of Allison historic sites in England and America, hand-made musical instruments, and a long list of items not yet complete. The reunion raffle for 2007 features a special hand-made heritage quilt, and an exquisite hand-made Allison violin crafted by master instrument make Ed Allison of Travelers Rest, South Carolina. After an afternoon break, the evening events turn casual and down-home for an old-fashioned fall family fun night with dancing, singing, and a barbeque dinner. Following events on campus on Saturday evening, the crowd will gather for a late night bluegrass music party at Rockefellas at Rodeway Inn. For 2007, the event packed Allison reunion weekend coincides with the community-wide Transylvania Heritage Day celebration on Sunday, October 21 at the historic 1815 Allison-Deaver House. Heritage Day will allow the reunion crowd to see the family's oldest surviving home in America brought to life like never before through living history demonstrators and interpreters, and excellent heritage entertainment from the stage on the front lawn. Docents in period dress will lead the crowd on tours of the historic structure, while the surrounding grounds of the home will be filled with the past, including Civil War era reenactors and demonstrators in the pasture, an exhibit of historic Transylvania quilts, and an exhibit of the famed locally made Gillespie rifles. All Allisons and kin cordially invited. Due to catered meals, reservations are required for most events. Please call or e-mail immediately for more information, including a schedule of events and how to make reservations closer to date.
