The Star - News, views and advertising of the Grand Coulee Dam Area

The sixth all-class reunion sponsored by the Grand Coulee High School Alumni Association will take place the second full weekend of August at North Dam Park. Held every fourth year to coincide with the Olympics, the reunion was cancelled last year because of Covid-19, but so were the Summer Olympic Games! The reunion will begin at 6 P M on Friday, August 13, 2021, with a registration and time of visiting at the covered picnic area above the Gehrke Windmills. Some individual classes will hold get-togethers Friday night at the homes of local classmates, and locations will be included in letters sent by class coordinators in their final notes to classes. That information will also be available at the park and you can stop by and register so others will know you’re in attendance and where to connect with you.

The main event of the reunion will be a catered lunch hosted by the Alumni at noon on Saturday, August 14, at the picnic shelter at North Dam Park. We will need a count for the caterer, so let your class coordinator know as soon as possible if you plan to attend. You can also call 509.633.0190 and leave a message that will be returned. The cost will be covered by donation, and if you want something to drink other than water, bring it with you. It is suggested that you also bring chairs for sitting and visiting.

The Coulee Pioneer Museum in Electric City will be open special hours to make possible the viewing of the many displays related to area history. Many who grew up in this area will be attending and actually experienced the history portrayed in the exhibits.
