There will be activities galore for Warsaw Alumni to attend, while in Warsaw for the all-school reunion to be held on June 11, 2022, at Warsaw High School.
Social hour begins at 4:00 p.m.. There is a $2.00 entry fee, if you have not made reservations for the dinner at 6:00 p.m. Classes being honored are 1995/96/97 for 25th anniversary, 1970/1971/1972 for 50th anniversary, and 1945/46/47 for 75th anniversary.
Jubilee Days will be having a free concert by "Yard Dogs" on Friday, June 10, at 8:00 p.m. in front of the Post Office. On Saturday, June 12, alumni can take part in the 5K Run/Walk, view the car show, and watch the Jubilee Days parade at 11:00.
That evening, "Dirt Road Addiction" will play a free concert at 8:00 p.m. in front of Post Office.
Alumni can visit the "Best Kept Secret in Warsaw," the Benton County Museum.
While there, you can visit the 50's room and see the exhibit about local musicians and former alumni, Dale Sledd (55), the Ferguson Sisters Trio--Sandra (54), Celia (54), and Ann (56). The museum also has a gunstock room, military room, school room, plus many more rooms full of exhibits. At the 2022 Special Exhibit, "Christmas From Long Ago,", read about Christmas memories from Larry Walthall (49), Ann Drake Breshears (61),
and Beth Downing Halsey (71). The newest addition to the museum is Steve Hanson's large collection of Indian artifacts, featuring arrowheads and primitive tools. There's something to interest everyone at the museum and recall growing up in Benton County.
The museum is open ten to four Friday and Saturday, and one to four on Sunday. The museum is located at 1660 Hilltop Drive. Cost is $3.00 for adults, and $2.00 for seniors and children.
Alumni should be ready for a fun-filled weekend in Warsaw meeting and greeting schoolmates and friends. Hope to see you at the all-school reunion.
