>…I don't think you will be able to get a date.  Fashions change by age of the people (no trendy youngsters in your photo) and by whether it is a more conservative area of the country.  I might call those trousers 'checks' rather than more colourful plaids.  Hemlines started moving above the knee in the 1960s though there are no youngsters wearing mini-skirts in your photo. If you search for photos of Virginia 1970 family reunions some look quite similar to yours. I would guess at 1972 plus or minus 5 years.

Here’s a big clue BillK: a vintage clothing site offered trousers that looked like the ones in the reunion photo:

 

 



 

The song which starts “Everybody was kung fu fighting” was released by Carl Douglas in 1974.  (BillK, did that particular silliness make it to Britain?)

 

The site sounded like it knew its vintage clothing.

 

So… probably 1974, which makes it even easier to explain thr poofy goofy hair.
