Chumuckla School Reunion - Sept. 29

Now annually - LAST Saturday in September at the Farmers Opry. 2-4:30 pm,  Opry dinner ($12.50) at 4:30 and optional  show ($10) at 7pm.   The REUNION visiting time will of course exetend through the dinner so people will have plenty of time to share and talk through the meal hours until 7pm when the music show begins. I encourage everyone to attend both the dinner and the show because it is a wonderful meal AND the show is great.  It is understood though that some of the older attendees will want to leave before dark - but it will still be light after the early meal.

Separtate MORNING tour of Skeeter's Museum at 10AM for those who meet at the School Parking area (Lunch on your own - HOWEVER - I will check with the opry about offering a pre-set number of sack lunchers for those who go on the tour ). This will be posted with details and any adjustments with the reunion notes.  Each year ONE of several tour options will be offered -The Museum, A Local Farm, Coon Hill Cemetery, and The School are the current choices. THIS year - THE MUSEUM. (Free).

See Reunion Program --  to follow here and at Chumuckla.com and FB Chumuckla group. (All classes, all friends, all staff and teachers, families - invited).

Please share this blog link  by email with your Chumuckla contacts. Thank you!

There will be committee members for several Reunion oriented program topics but thankfully the confusion of pot luck, kitchen fees, cleanup committees and set up work is all removed by using the fantastic facilities at the FARMER's OPRY.  I know a lot of people that are RELIEVED to know that!

A committee to pick and orient the EMCEE and program schedule
