All School Reunion - SEPTEMBER!
Hello, Huron grad,
Your Alumni Association is contacting you for two reasons at this time:
First, a reminder that our second All-School Reunion is fast approaching, September 26th, and we want all of our grads, near or far, to have an opportunity to register and enjoy the fun. Since this is Huron’s Bicentennial year, we have opened up the registration to anyone with a connection to Huron to attend. The seats are limited to only 500, a number we exceeded the last time.
The dinner dance on Saturday evening, September 26, is actually the culmination of a whole weekend of Homecoming events including parades, a Hall of Fame Banquet, tail gate party and skull session before the big game with Clyde, and then the post-game celebration out on the Mulligan’s Pub deck. The cost for the All-School evening is only $24 - not bad for a recession year - and includes a Mesenburg pork and chicken dinner with all the trimmings, dessert, music and dancing till midnight, tax, tip and out the door, as they say in the trade. Festivities start with cocktails at 5 PM, dinner at 6:30, followed by a short program and then visiting and dancing as late as you can stand it! Here is a fine opportunity to reconnect with friends, not only from your class but from those above and below yours. Friendships respect no class lines!
Ensure your spot by emailing back us to hold a place, then download, fill out, and mail in the registration form attached above. Round up your classmates, friends, and siblings and register as a group if you like.
Most of the tables seat eight, but we can make up ten-tops if need be.
Spaces are starting to go fast, and we don’t want any of our grads to miss out.
Secondly, this week and next are the culmination of your hometown’s Bicentennial Celebration. Almost every day there will be some activity beginning Friday the 7th with the Rotary Ribs Burn Off and ending with your Association sponsored Oddball Olympics at Huron Memorial Stadium on Sunday the 16th. This Saturday morning is an art show at the Basin and the Great Race Scavenger Hunt, testing how much you know about Huron’s past. Sunday the 8th is the big family birthday bash at the Basin starting at noon, with a community picture taken at 1:15. Tuesday evening at the Nia Center at Kalahari will be the huge auction for the ARTirondack chairs, Huron’s bicentennial public art project. Arrangements have been made so that if you wish to bid from out of town you may do so. View the chairs at the website wwwHuronBicentennial.com and place a bid on eBay.
(Search under ARTirondack Chairs. Click on any chair and scroll under the
picture for instructions.) Then see a film on Huron’s Urban Renewal
project on the 13th at McCormick Auditorium at 7 PM. Friday the 14th begins the wooden boat show weekend, ending with Oddball Olympics on Sunday. If you and your family have not yet signed up for this last family fun day of the summer, there is still time. See the attachment above for details on the areas of town making up the teams and the contact information for all team leaders.
It’s a great time to celebrate being a native Huronite. Do join us for
at least part of the fun, and if you are too far away to make it back, think about us and join us in spirit anyway! Hope the rest of your summer goes well, and do enjoy the upcoming fall season wherever you are.
