The whole reason I have not blogged the last 6 months......and might I add....well worth it.
It was our 20th High School reunion, if you can believe. Way back in December I was getting a good handful of posts on my FACEBOOK wondering, if we had plans, and what we were going to do. Nothing like feeling a little bit of pressure! Our Senior class Pres. lives out of state, and well....the 7 others didn't so much care, so I had the pleasure of planning this reunion on my own. Aside from a couple of phone calls, someone making a banner, and a deceased classmate display. This reunion was up to me. Set up, take down, accounting, reserving, collecting, following up, confirming, scheduling, finding, choosing, paying, refunding.....yes, all up to me!
Happy to report....I think it was FANTASTIC!
Friday, August 12th we had Big Scoops Creamery come to the park for an ice cream social.
Families were invited and they provided a Sundae Bar complete with waffle bowls, 4 choices of ice cream, and 6 different toppings! The day was warm, and it was perfect. It was the bigger
turnout with about 150 showing. It was fun to reminisce and see those forgotten, with their families.
Our senior year in High School we had our classmates fill out a survey that talked about their past, present and future at that time. We told them we would put them in a time capsule and open them on our 25th. But since we won't be having one......we opened it this year, everyone enjoyed laughing themselves, funny to see what we felt was so important to us back then.
Saturday, August 13th Day Activity- Was an absolute ball! We sold All Day Ride passes to Snowbird to all alumni and spouses, where they could spend the day playing, hanging out with each other before getting all dolled up for dinner! From 11-8:00 they could ride an Alpine Slide, Zipline, do a Ropes Course, Peruvian Chair, Tram Ride. I only was able to do the Zipline, and Alpine Slide before having to go set up the room, the DJ, and get ready to check people in. But still managed to have a good time!
Saturday, August 13th Evening- Was held at the Snowbird Lodge. We checked everyone in mingled a bit, had a dinner, and slide show of the past. There were displays, and history books, a table recognizing the deceased. About 90 people showed. It was a fun night!
My good friend Lex De Azevedo II, aka DJ Lex from B92.7 in Southern Utah came and DJ'd for our dance. He was amazing! He had every 80's song we requested AND played the music video from the 80's with it. It was so fun, and brought back many fond memories.
Pictures of the stragglers.....wish I was smart enough to get a pic of everyone there ALL at the same time. Oh well, lesson learned. These were most of my favorite people anyway!
Snowbird offered discounted rooms for $79, which was a deal! So nice, and so needed....

Until another decade passes......
