It was a huge long weekend in Ripley, celebrating the 2025 homecoming.
Running from July 31st-August 4th, it was considered a resounding success, estimating around 10,000 people through the beer gardens over the weekend.
Dubbed, the Ground We Grew Up On was a tribute to Ripley’s history and celebration of its present and future.
Matt Farrell, Ripley Reunion Committee Chair says seeing former residents return and new faces discovering the small town spirit, it was a powerful reminder of what makes the community so special.
