For
those now living outside the Garrett Zone,
Spike’s band, always a big draw, is probably THE region’s favorite 50’s / 60’s
cover band, and presently includes Garrett’s own Bob Zmysloni and Wayne Neukom
– WAY better now than your memories of them from High School!
The
Pancake Breakfast cost is a donation, the
old car Cruise-In is free, and the pre-registration walk/run
cost has been just $5 for many years (which includes a free Garrett July 4th
walk/run t-shirt), thanks to the Garrett
State Bank’s sponsorship - so it’s relatively easy to bring children and
grandchildren to walk and/or run with you, should you and they be inclined. To download the pre-registration mail-in form,click on this link. If
you don’t pre-register for $5 by June 15, you can still enter the Walk/Run for
$15, even on the very day, but only pre-registered participants are guaranteed
t-shirts.
I’ve
always seen a number of friends there from various classes, and had a great
time.
In
the meantime, it is within our power to
make 2013 the best-by-far turnout yet:
·
Commit now to
share that morning with friends and community. Put it on your calendar today.
·
Declare your
interest to friends (whatever their class or age) personally, through email, on
Facebook, etc; and if you really want
to impress someone, text their phone (though personally, I am a bona-fide
Geezer, and can’t understand why anyone would prefer text to voice).
Spread
the word about these multiple events - lots to take in whether or not you walk
or run, lots of people you may see.
Finally, do not confuse these July 3-4 Garrett Heritage Days with the
July 19-20 GarrettAlumni Days events, which
include a Golf Outing and a morning Walk Around the Town on Friday; and on
Saturday, Tours of and a Noon Luncheon at the new High School,
and the nine to midnight All-Classes Open
House at the American Legion (always jam-packed and now smoke-free).
Not to mention the many class reunions going on everywhere Friday and Saturday.
Reach out!
Participate! Share! Be Friendly! Be Happy!

for the period between Rowe and OriGraphics)
