This year the Leo Long Jr. Family will be hosting the 2026 Long Family Reunion. The family will be flying in from the West Coast to Melbourne, Florida. We are so excited and eager to see everyone and participate in this year’s reunion!

We hope that you are ready for a weekend full of fun, laughter, music, activities, games, prizes, fellowship, and great food. This year at the family dinner on Saturday night we’re asking the parent(s) to come and give a brief introduction to their new little addition to the family; for example, cousins that were recently born after the July 2025 Long Family Reunion. These little ones will continue the Legacy of Katie Barnes Long and Leo Long.
