Sikeston, MO - Welcome Home

The Year of the Homecoming

This year, the 43rd Annual Lott Family Reunion is more than just a gathering—it’s a homecoming. We are returning to Sikeston, Missouri, the place where our family’s roots run deep, to honor our beginnings, celebrate our journey, and invest in our future.

Our theme, "Reconnecting with Our Native Land," reflects the heart of this reunion. Sikeston isn’t just another location on the map—it’s where the Lott family story began. It’s the land where our ancestors worked, loved, and built the foundation for the family we are today. This year, we have the rare opportunity to walk the same land they once did, to stand where they stood, and to strengthen the bonds that have carried us through generations.

While we’ll still enjoy all the traditions that make our reunions special, we’re also introducing new experiences unique to Sikeston—moments that will allow us to honor our history, celebrate our family, and create lasting memories. From visiting historic sites that connect us to our heritage to sharing stories that have been passed down through the years, this reunion will be a powerful reminder of who we are and where we come from.

This isn’t just another reunion—it’s a chance to reconnect, reflect, and embrace the land that gave us our name. Join us in Sikeston, Missouri, from July 10–13, 2025, for a Lott Family Reunion like no other.

A Reunion Full of Tradition & New Experiences!

While we’re honoring our past and embracing our cherished family traditions, we’re also bringing new energy to this year’s reunion with exciting additional events that will make Sikeston 2025 truly unforgettable!

Alongside our beloved picnic and banquet, we’re kicking off the weekend with a Skating & Bowling Meet & Greet—the perfect way to reconnect, have fun, and welcome everyone as they arrive in town. Whether you’re lacing up your skates, bowling a strike, or just catching up with family, this night will set the tone for an amazing weekend ahead!

We’re also introducing a Pajama Party Game Night, where you can relax, laugh, and enjoy some friendly competition in your coziest PJs. Expect a night full of games, bonding, and good vibes for all ages!

This year, our Family Picnic will be hosted at Cape Splash Family Aquatic Center, adding a refreshing twist to our reunion tradition! Get ready to enjoy a day of food, family, and waterpark fun, with slides, splash zones, and plenty of space to relax and soak up the sun.

And, of course, no trip to Sikeston would be complete without a visit to Lambert’s Café—the famous "Home of Throwed Rolls!" We’ll gather for a family lunch at this iconic spot, where the food is delicious, the portions are generous, and the experience is one-of-a-kind.

To round out the weekend, there will be church service options on Sunday morning, followed by a Family Farewell Brunch, where we can reflect on the weekend, share stories, and say our see-you-laters until we meet again.
