One of the most cherished things from reunions of years past are the photographs. Like previous reunions, we have again hired a professional photographer and they will provide the photographs online for free, and if you would like a print, you can pre-purchase your photo during online registration.
If you are interested in attending but don’t know where to stay, you can find Accommodations on our website at http://www.chsallclassreunion.com. But don’t wait to make your reservations; rooms are filling up fast!
Also new this year, folks can choose to opt in to having their name displayed on an Attendee list; this can be found on the website as well. Should you want to find out who is attending from your graduating year, you can check it out on the website. Remember, registration just started so be checking the website to see who is attending.
We are seeking vendors again to attend during the event. The reunion has been known to bring in 1,000 to 1,500 visitors and would be very worthwhile for a Vendor to attend. Vendors will be located primarily on Main Street in Chinook but are also welcome to join in on the fun at the Brewfest on July 4th at Sweet Park from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. The Vendor Fee is $100 for the duration of the Event and a registration form will need to be filled out prior to attending. You can register on the website as well.
The Friends of the Pool and Park Foundation have so graciously taken on the task of hosting the 2024 All Class Reunion and they would like to thank the community for their wonderful support of their mission to fix Chinook’s aging Pool and Park facilities. All proceeds from this event will benefit that mission.
As you can see, the Reunion is jam packed with fun and exciting events and we hope you can join us at the 2024 CHS All Class Reunion next July in Chinook! Reach out to us with questions at info@chsallclassreunion.com or visit our website.
