On Saturday, May 2, 2026, the Henry County Memory Fund will host the 12th Annual Big Purple Party! It will be held in Hawthorn Bank’s West side parking lot at Old Country Club Park with registration at 9:00 am and the ceremony at 9:30 am. All contributors will be on site with information and giveaways during the ceremony to honor our friends, family and loved ones.
During the ceremony we remember and honor those families that have chosen to leave their loved one’s funeral memorial to the fund. Each year those individuals’ will be recognized in the “Hall of Remembrance” along walk route of the Big Purple Party to remember all those that are gone but never forgotten. If you are planning to attend we ask that you bring a homemade sign to put along the walk that will honor and remember your loved one.
