People who worked, lived or went to school in Gainesville Mill Village gathered Saturday to celebrate their heritage. Event Organizer Cherry Woodall Lobo said the fifth annual Gainesville Mill Reunion, held inside the mill’s old administration office, was a success, with lots of food and plenty of reminiscing. The room was filled with friendly chatter and much laughter as they talked about the good old days.
