This year’s banquet is more than a dinner; it’s a tribute of legacy and purpose. We pause to honor the men of our family -- the grandfathers, fathers, brothers, sons, and uncles who have led with love, protected with courage, and carried the torch of our legacy. We celebrate the strength, resilience of our ancestors and the promise of the next generation as we recognize the legacies of all our families: Stafford, Brookfield, Burnside, Eskridge, Fair, Grissom, Shelton, Wynne, and more. Together, we rise as one family with many branches rooted in a powerful legacy.

We will continue to shine a spotlight on our youth and rising leaders through music, poetry, and storytelling. Be moved by a dramatic presentation that reenacts our family’s historic journey, an unforgettable tribute to those who paved the way and the ones who will carry it forward.
