The Isaak Family 2026 Reunion Schedule
Mark your calendars for the 75th August Isaak Family Reunion this summer on Saturday June 27, and June 28, 2026. We will be taking another family photo with a drone this year. There was a photo taken in 1950, a photo taken in 2020, and now this photo. I know my first cousin Tom Miller was a baby in the first photo taken in 1950.
The reunion board met this past weekend with the Hazen City Hall, the band has been booked for the dance and the spot has been reserved at Lake Sakakawea State Park in Pick City, North Dakota. We will have a trivia game of August and Katherina Isaak's early times so you can bone up on this family history. The events and times are listed below.
