Guests from as far away as Hawaii were in Laurel Saturday night, October 19 for the 9th PDI Reunion.  The idea for the reunion came about when a couple of friends met at Phillips Drive-In one day to enjoy the delicious hamburgers, chili dogs, and shakes and talk about the good ole days back in the 50s and 60s when PDI was the place to be in Laurel.  A reunion was suggested and little did they know that 9 years later the reunion would still be happening, and the attendance would grow to an estimated 1800 people with almost 150 antique cars lining the streets surrounding the iconic drive-in restaurant.  This year, organizers of the reunion are grateful to Community Bank for stepping up to sponsor the event. All proceeds of the event will go to the Laurel Police Department’s “Shop With a Cop” program and “Mission At The Cross” ministries.
